Welcome back to another episode of SDG Talks where we highlight change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)!

Do you know what is being done to help off-grid communities gain access to electricity?

IN THIS EPISODE:

- What is the importance of mobile phone penetration in driving electrification?

And who better to hear about Greenlight Planet's efforts than the Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Business Global Development herself Radhika Thakkar? Radhika joined the Greenlight Planet team while still a startup and expanded the company's presence from India to Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America within one year of operations to include hundreds of channel partners in more than 50 countries around the world today. She also launched Greenlight's office in Nairobi, Kenya and led significant growth of the company across sub-Saharan Africa and is additionally the President of the Board of Directors of GOGLA: "the voice of the off-grid solar energy industry."
