Our stories

In a country where most people have no reliable access to power, electric light is a distant dream for many. One in six people across the country, struggles to work, study, or help others after sunset. Signify India has been committed to ending this imbalance, with our vision to unlock the extraordinary potential of light for brighter lives and a better world. By applying technology, expertise, and resources, we have provided access to light, raised awareness of the importance of energy efficiency in protecting our environment, and supported humanitarian interventions.
