SELCO'S Solar Revolution: Driving Sustainability, Inclusivity, and Social Transformation
內容大綱
The case traces the 25-year-long journey of SELCO (Solar Electric Light Company) from its inception in 1995 to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. SELCO's aim was initially to provide solar home lighting systems for India's impoverished rural communities. After the success of this phase, SELCO's first phase (SELCO 1.0),the organization, under founder Harish Hande's leadership, began to explore how it could better serve the communities it was helping. This led to SELCO 2.0, which focused on creating livelihood opportunities through solar-powered appliances. SELCO realized that it had the potential to do more. It evolved further, progressing to SELCO 3.0, which strove to deepen its social impact with SELCO Foundation and the development of a unique SELCO ecosystem. The case explores how for-profit social enterprises such as SELCO evolve with time, how the landscape of the field they work in changes, and how their success is often determined by multiple factors: a unique organizational culture, exceptional leadership, and an on-ground understanding of real issues. The case questions how an organization like SELCO should proceed as it tries to apply the SELCO model in new locations, and how the SELCO culture can be preserved as the leadership changes.
