Energy Voyager is currently organizing a consortium of companies, non-profit organizations, foundations, and government agencies with the goal of ending energy poverty in India within the next ten years. 

Our Indian partners are: The Development Alternatives Group (DAG), a non-profit, Indian think tank on green development issues with cutting edge green technologies, founded by physicist-social entrepreneur, Dr. Ashok Khosla. DAG has been in business over twenty-five years and currently employs over 100 professionals.  DAG is  supported by business affiliates TARA, a non-profit organization which provides business solutions to build village economies; TARAhaat, a for-profit company in India with the mission of linking all of India's 800,000 villages to the Internet; and DESI Power, an Indian company, focusing on the development of green power projects at the village level in India.

The basic strategy of the Green India Consortium is to develop further the TARAhaat infrastructure and to help companies with excellent green products innovate so that these products can be sold at viable margins. The model under consideration will generate three basic revenue streams from: the sales of green products, subscriptions for premium services from a Green India web site, and Carbon Emission Credits generated on-site implementation of green products.

As a first step Energy Voyager has created a special public Energy Poverty CBIN which tracks moment-by-moment geo-spatial news relating to energy poverty issues. The site will soon feature two special WIKI applications: the first following the most public/private business models relating to energy poverty issues; the second supporting young inventors who are interested in contributing inventive ideas to address energy poverty issues. Contributors are most welcome to join the Energy Poverty CBIN.

Green India offers a scalable model which if successful can be rapidly implemented in many other developing countries.
