Ned Tozun and Sam Goldman founded d.light in 2007 with a mission to provide safe, affordable, and sustainable energy solutions for all. For d.light, “all” has meant creating solar-powered products for over two billion people worldwide who lack reliable access to energy. It all began with an affordable, durable solar-powered lamp.
Seventeen years later, d.light has become a global phenomenon. Its solar products have improved the lives of over 180 million people across 72 countries, including India, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda. The company now employs 1,200 people and tens of thousands of local sales agents to bring its innovative products to remote, rural communities.
d.light’s products have a tangible impact: children can study after dark with solar lights, midwives can safely deliver babies without struggling in darkness, and families no longer need to rely on hazardous kerosene, thanks to clean solar energy.
Now d.light aims to reach one billion people by 2030, providing them a grid-like energy lifestyle without connecting to the grid. The objective: leapfrog over legacy fossil fuel infrastructure and enable one billion people to head directly into the low-carbon future.
Ned joins Supercool to share how the business has effectively scaled, entered new markets, and evolved to meet the needs of its customers without ever losing sight of its original mission.
