Strategy

Smart Center

What is new Renewable energy solution: About a million SHS is already installed. Government is offering incentive in this regard. Despite all these effort minimum cost of a SHS is taka 15,000. Everyday poor people is compromising their health for meeting their lighting demand. Our intent is to introduce a business model so that: Anybody can use electricity according to their demand and affordability. In extreme case they themselves can generate electricity for their use.

What is new eMoney: Being popular every day around the globe. Plenty of variations already exist in Bangladesh. Existing business plan does not justify very low ticket transactions. Our intent is to introduce a technology platform and related business model so that: eMoney can become justifiable with low ticket transactions. Poor people can enjoy the benefits of the technology

What is new Employment generation & increasing production: Our intent is to introduce an effective business model so that: People get inspired to increase production within their existing scope.
