Today's world is a world full of technologies and innovations. A lot of entrepreneurs are sprouting up with a range of totally new ideas and businesses. Here is one example of it where a small town boy Gyanesh Pandey with his three friends come up with a similar idea. It was innovative, new and technology driven like many others. But there is one thing different.

"In the age of the iPad, it's easy to forget that roughly a quarter of the world's population -- about a billion and a half people -- still lack electricity. This isn't just an inconvenience; it takes a severe toll on economic life, education and health. It's estimated that two million people die prematurely each year as a result of pulmonary diseases caused by the indoor burning of fuels for cooking and light. Close to half are children who die of pneumonia."

What this guy did was not an easy task. We usually think of doing something for the society when we have achieved everything we aspire to. But starting your first business in a rural area with the intentions of improving the society is something commendable. Moreover it has also given a new dimension of running a business. It has defied the norm which implies that doing anything for society can only be an act of philanthropy or CSR and cannot be a full fledged business generating great revenues. 
Entrepreneurs like these have not only set an example for other aspiring entrepreneurs but also opened new opportunities, showing them that they can build a business model for such ignored sections of the society and can still make great profits.
