Electricity for All: Mansoor Hamayun of BBOXX

Tune in to the last episode of Season 1 of the Beyond Capital Podcast!

13% of the world’s population - 940 million people - still do not have access to electricity. 3 billion people around the world still do not have access to clean fuels or energy sources.

Mansoor Hamayun is the co-founder and CEO of BBOXX, a company that develops, manufactures and distributes solar energy solutions to countries across Africa and Asia, bringing electricity to over 1.3 million people. Mansoor previously worked in engineering and aviation at Rolls Royce. 

"In a period of uncertainty, electricity is comforting. Access to electricity is fundamental to ensuring an acceptable quality of life," says Mansoor. "Through my business, I realized that bringing electricity actually has an impact on self-dignity. I had never thought about 'access' like that before."
