UDAY’S STORY_

Uday Electric

After witnessing the effects of the power crisis in rural India, Uday decided to act and help create a brighter future for communities in need.

On average, rural India is left in the dark for a staggering ten hours every day. In 10th grade, when Uday began mentoring students in the slums of Bichpuri, he saw how frequent power cuts rendered children unable to study or even fulfil their basic needs.

To tackle the power crisis, Uday developed his ground-breaking invention, the Outage Guard bulb. This low-cost solution is designed to provide uninterrupted lighting for up to ten hours during power cuts.  

This led him to create his brand Uday Electric, which has illuminated households in rural India across five states and sold over 7500 units of his Outage Guard bulb, generating 1.875 million rupees.  His efforts resulted in 950 families receiving stable and reliable power, enabling them to conduct their daily activities with ease, boosting their educational and employment opportunities.  

Uday, a visionary individual, is currently dedicating his efforts to securing a patent for his innovative creation. He is also actively involved in conducting research on the power crisis to explore additional potential solutions.

Demonstrating a remarkable entrepreneurial spirit and an unwavering commitment to help others, Uday has helped bring light into the lives of those who were living in darkness.
