On this episode, I had a conversation with Amit Saraogi and Anshuman Lath to learn how India was able to grow its electricity access from 60% to almost 100% of its population in two decades.
What can African leaders learn from this? What roles do the private sector and public sector play in providing clean, affordable and sustainable electricity access for all?
Please have a listen.
