Job Description:

Why join Pollinate Energy?
Pollinate Energy is a not-for-profit social business focused on improving the lives of India’s urban poor. We started by selling one product - solar lights - in urban slums.

We have reached 500 urban slums in Bangalore and have kickstarted a move into Hyderabad. A core part of what we do is our Fellowship and Young Professional programs. These programs bring university students and young professionals from around the world to work with us in India. They provide much needed resources to help train our Pollinators, roll out new products and work on core business projects.
