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
"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."

“eChai has been that turning point in my journey. It gave me a platform when I wasn’t looking for visibility but needed direction. Over the years, it became more than just a network. It became my tribe; a place where conversations sparked collaborations, and strangers became trusted sounding boards. What I value most is how effortlessly eChai brings people together - no airs, no filters, just genuine people with shared dreams. I owe a lot to this community and to Jatin, whose consistency and belief in people have shaped journeys like mine. Forever grateful to be part of something so real.”

"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.
