Moreover, while supplying power to the remaining population, India's electricity distribution companies lose over $30 Billion annually primarily due to theft and pilferage. In his talk, Yashraj Khaitan will describe how the effective use of technology and innovative business models can reduce losses by an amount which can be used to electrify the entire nation within 3 years.
