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
"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

"At DevX.Work, we’ve greatly benefited from our association with eChai. Their events and networking forums have connected us with high-potential startups, ecosystem leaders, and innovation-driven professionals — many of whom have become valuable partners, collaborators, and even clients. What stands out most is the openness and accessibility of the community — whether you're an early-stage founder or an experienced entrepreneur, eChai provides a welcoming space to learn, collaborate, and grow. It's more than just a network — it's a catalyst for real, collaborative growth. We’re proud to be part of the eChai community. Highly recommended for any organization aiming to grow within the startup space."

"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.
