In some parts of India, electricity is largely unavailable. The people living in these areas often use hazardous kerosene lamps in their homes. Kerosene lamps are highly flammable and can be toxic. Ajaita Shah decided to sell safe solar-powered lamps in these rural areas. Since rural India has few roads and even fewer gas stations, she had to find a way to get customers their lamps. She also had to make sure that service centers were in locations convenient to her customers. To this end, Shah has opened hundreds of retail stores across India. In addition, she has employed local women to both sell lamps and educate customers about them.
