synopsis Sunlight is the new Oil – A David vs Goliath Story! Data is NOT the new Oil! For India, it is looking more and more like Sunlight – Solar Energy – is the new
Atmanirbhar Oil. With an achievable target of 175GW by 2022 and 450GW by 2050, Modi Government aims for Solar Energy to become the second if not the first largest source of energy for India thus decimating India’s largest import. Vivek Subramaniam and his startup Fourth Partner Energy have been fighting a David vs. Goliath battle in this space against much larger incumbents such as Tata, Adani, Renew Power etc. Join us to walk through the fantastic story of how a startup funded on just angel funding grew from 4 Crores to 500 Crores of revenue in just 8 short years! Was it just good luck and timing? Or were they fleet of foot and have a very well thought plan to attack a white space in the market with innovative strategies? The battle is on and David seems to be holding his own! Join us for a fascinating fireside on the brilliant success of these amazing entrepreneurs in taking India to self-sufficiency in its single largest import!
