Graduate of EIT InnoEnergy Master's programme in Sustainable Engineering
After undertaking his EIT labelled Master’s degree with EIT InnoEnergy, Govinda went on to found the award winning start-up LEDSafari. Govinda started with a vision of every child around the world having light to study – and he created a simple to make, cheap solar lamp and a programme for trainers who are now teaching children all over the world to make their own lamps.
Govinda is a great example of the EIT Alumni in action. He has benefitted from not one but two of the EIT’s Innovation Communities, having been accepted into the EIT Climate KIC Accelerator programme after his InnoEnergy master’s degree.
In 2015 Govinda was named on Forbes’ 30 under 30 list for best young entrepreneurs. He was also winner of the EIT Change award at INNOVEIT 2015 and winner of the MIT Enterprise Forum's Innovate for Refugees competition in 2016.
