Bold vision for Imagine Powertree in 2025
In 2025, our boldest vision is to position Imagine Powertree as the global leader in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and Urban Photovoltaics (UPV), with a special focus on Solar Trees, Facades, and Gazebos and Solar Tiles with a vision to bring Sun4Everyone a reality.
These solutions aim to make solar energy accessible to urban spaces and high-rise buildings without rooftop access.
We plan to achieve this through design innovation, scaling partnerships across Africa and North America, and executing high-impact projects with governments and corporates.
Seizing the Opportunity
The rising demand for urban solar solutions excites me most, especially for products like Solar Trees that combine aesthetics with functionality and Solar Facades that make buildings energy-efficient.
We are leveraging this by expanding solar tree installations in public spaces and partnering with real estate developers to integrate solar facades, tile and cladding into building designs, setting new benchmarks in the industry.
Evolving as a Founder
I look forward to scaling our vision while building a strong leadership team and fostering innovation.
Personally, I’m focused on achieving better health and mindfulness, mentoring other entrepreneurs, and ensuring Imagine Powertree becomes a model for sustainability-driven growth.
The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
