Early life

He was born in Handattu, Udupi District, Karnataka, and raised in Rourkela, Orissa, India.[3]

After completing his basic schooling in Orissa in Ispat English Medium School, he went to IIT Kharagpur for his undergraduate studies in energy engineering and graduated in 1990.[4][5]

He then went to the United States to do his master's degree and later PhD in energy engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.[5][6]

Career

Hande co-founded SELCO INDIA (in 1995), a social enterprise, to eradicate poverty by promoting sustainable technologies in rural India.

SELCO India is a social enterprise that provides sustainable energy services to the poor in India.[7] Hande left the active management of SELCO India in 2014 and became the CEO of SELCO Foundation.[8]

Awards and recognitions

SELCO India under the leadership of Hande has won the Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy 2005 and Accenture Economic Development Award for 2005.[9]

In 2011 he was awarded the Magsaysay Award for "his passionate and pragmatic efforts to put solar power technology in the hands of the poor, through a social enterprise that brings customized, affordable, and sustainable electricity to India’s vast rural populace, encouraging the poor to become asset creators.”.[13][14]

Hande was also awarded the Karnataka Rajyotsava Prashasti in 2011 by the Government of Karnataka.[15][16]

In 2013 the trustees of University of Massachusetts awarded him the Doctorate of Humane Letters.[16][17]
