His big game plan was: to destroy following three myths
1. the poor cannot afford technology
2. the poor cannot maintain technology
3. that you cannot run a commercial venture while running a social venture.

Let me introduce you the big game planner, Mr.Harish Hande.
Harish with his humble attitude, passionately explored non-traditional methods in business, targeting lower class of the community as his major market.

Asia's highest honor, the 2011 Ramon Magsaysay Award winner Mr.Harish Hande - An IIT K graduate and Phd holder from University of Massachusetts Lowell, Harish co-founded SELCO [Solar Electric Light Company] to provide reliable, affordable, environmentally sustainable energy services to homes and businesses, especially in the rural areas.
