Nedjip Tozun: Powering 170+ million ppl with Solar, and the future of Cleantech
I sat down with Nedjip Tozun, co-founder and CEO of D.light Design, the world's most impactful solar company. They have powered over 170 million people, at the base of the world's economic pyramid, with solar electricity and lighting products. Nedjip and I discuss the trials and tribulations of D.light, we talk about his fascinating views on religion, which underpin the story of d.light, and we talk about the future of sustainable energy / geoengineering.
Ned is a heavy hitter in the world of cleantech and silicon valley. Highly recommend this episode if you are curious about these subjects, about social impact businesses, or about one person's unique journey with religion.
