Yet another SELCO story

This is a story of Kumar, a petty vendor, who had a small kiosk selling very basic stuff. 

SELCO facilitated an Integrated Energy Center, enabling him to supply lights to a community of migrant workers. Kumar has expanded this business from an initial 40 lights, to 70 lights within six months, 90 in a year, and to a current 120 lights.

He has also expanded his range of products to include a mobile charging station, a solar freezer and a projector. The freezer enables him to stock milk, curd and cool drinks, and the projector to show movies twice a week.  

He is now a proud and successful business man earning a monthly profit of over Rs.15,000, and rearing to grow, and what's more, all this within 2 years.
