Approximately 600 employees across the SELCO ecosystem, leveraging philanthropic funding without public revenue disclosure (source: frappe.io).

What They Do

SELCO Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and deploying decentralized renewable energy solutions, primarily focusing on solar technologies. Founded by Harish Hande, who also co-founded SELCO India, the Foundation aims to alleviate poverty and enhance access to essential services such as healthcare and education in underserved rural communities across India (source: energypedia.info). The Foundation operates mainly in South Asia, particularly in states like Karnataka, Odisha, and Jharkhand, utilizing a network of energy service centers established by SELCO India (source: selcofoundation.org). Their approach emphasizes user-centered solutions, including solar-powered lighting, thermal water heaters, and energy-efficient medical equipment, which are designed to reduce labor and enable income generation for low-income rural users (source: lemelson.org).

Projects & Track Record

SELCO Foundation has undertaken several notable projects aimed at enhancing energy access and improving livelihoods. One significant initiative is the e-Shala (e-school) project, which deploys solar-powered storage devices and LED projectors to electrify education in rural areas, particularly in Karnataka (source: wikipedia.org). Additionally, the Foundation has supported agricultural mechanization projects, such as Jayashree's bread-making unit, which utilizes SELCO-supported machinery to reduce labor on farms (source: lemelson.org). The Foundation's current major projects include the 'Energy for Health' initiative, which aims to provide solar solutions to 25,000 healthcare facilities by 2026, and the Sustainable Energy Led Climate Action Program (SELCAP) focusing on energy planning in Odisha and Jharkhand (source: hbs.edu).

Recent Developments

In recent years, SELCO Foundation has expanded its partnerships and initiatives significantly. The 'Energy for Health' partnership with IKEA Foundation has been announced to target solar solutions for 25,000 healthcare facilities by 2026, building on previous successful projects (source: hbs.edu). The Foundation also received a $400,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation in 2022 to integrate decentralized renewable energy into programs in Odisha and Jharkhand, following a $200,000 grant in 2020 for healthcare initiatives (source: macfound.org). While no acquisitions or mergers have been reported, the Foundation continues to receive funding from various sources, including a notable $2 million grant from DOEN Foundation in 2016 (source: doughnuteconomics.org).

Working There

SELCO Foundation operates within a broader ecosystem that includes SELCO India and other entities, employing around 600 people across various roles. Positions range from design thinking and technology development to program implementation in health, education, and livelihoods (source: frappe.io). The Foundation primarily hires from its headquarters in Bangalore and branches across several Indian states, emphasizing local recruitment to build trust in rural service roles (source: selco-india.com). The company culture is centered around long-term mission protection, inclusive hiring practices, and collaboration within the ecosystem, focusing on user-centered innovation and community ownership models (source: doughnuteconomics.org).
