A crash course in changing the world.
Social Entrepreneur, Electricity
Meet a young budding entrepreneur from humble beginnings in India who is set to change the world through a process of using rice husks. The company name is "Husk Power Systems; their CEO is Gyanesh Pandey.
Pandey was originally born in India, one of the nation's poorest states, populated with approximately 80 million people; 85 percent of them do not have access to real electricity. Without electricity, individuals suffer from poor hygiene, there is more darkness which brings on more crime, and there is less light for individuals to study.
Pandey's company has transformed the abundant rice husk resource, which is usually thrown away where it rots in landfills in villages across India’s rice belt, into a method that provides electricity at a staggeringly low rates.
Pandey grew up in this environment, attended school in the United States, studying electrical engineering and was able to receive a lucrative position. Yet, he humbled himself and left that life of material wealth to give back something to his own community.
Pandey tried several different methods for supplying cheap energy, but eventually came up with the idea of running an entire power plant on rice husks.
He subsequently partnered with a few of his childhood friends where they subsequently received the necessary support to turn their ideas into an up and running business and since 2008, the partners have worked diligently to cut down business costs in innovative ways so that they can provide electricity at the cheapest possible price while still turning out enough of a profit to continue running their business.
His story is being picked up by many media outlets around the world. Above all, Husk Power Systems has proved that solving big, global-scale social problems can start, and even stay, small.
