About Us
Established in 2010, SELCO Foundation’s mission is to develop holistic solutions that use sustainable energy as a catalyst to address poverty alleviation alongside ensuring environmental sustainability. SELCO’s interventions lead to the sustainable delivery of essential healthcare services and enable improvements in livelihoods productivity. The foundation does this by also developing enabling conditions, i.e the ecosystem for sustainable energy innovations to be locally developed, adopted and scaled. The work is spread across sectors (wellbeing, healthcare, livelihoods), geographies (States across the South,
East and North Eastern India) and ecosystem aspects (efficient technologies, affordable end-user finance, entrepreneur development, inclusive investments and practitioner-driven policies). SELCO Foundation’s efforts broadly include:
1. Inclusive Innovation and benchmarking: to understand needs and develop benchmarks of holistic technology-finance-ownership models based.
2. Scale with Ecosystem building by working closely with local partners to design programs and deploy holistic solution packages that address aspects of appropriate financing, local entrepreneurship
development.
3. Amplification to institutionalize approaches, program designs with key ecosystem stakeholders such as Government agencies for further dissemination and replication beyond SELCO’s networks.
4. Incubation of grassroots level clean energy enterprises and local technology enterprises to enable decentralization of services at the last mile.
