Oorjit Mahajan

Oorjit Mahajan, a passionate advocate for clean energy solutions, is the driving force behind Candela Energy's mission to revolutionize energy access in underserved communities. Hailing from India, Oorjit witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by communities relying on traditional biomass and kerosene for their energy needs. In 2020, a staggering 2.6 billion people in rural areas were affected by air pollution and environmental degradation due to these practices.

Motivated by the urgent need for change, Oorjit co-founded Candela Energy, a trailblazing initiative that leverages a last-mile distribution network of solar-powered mobile kiosks to provide renewable energy products to those in need. By reducing dependency on fossil fuels, Candela Energy not only promotes economic development but also fosters environmental sustainability, benefiting communities in profound ways.

Oorjit's personal connection to the cause drives his commitment to improving lives through clean energy solutions. With a scalable model that can be replicated globally, Candela Energy is at the forefront of transforming underserved communities by offering clean, renewable energy solutions that enhance health, economic development, and education while reducing environmental degradation.
