Show Notes

Though Kartik Wahi’s father started a successful OEM business, Wahi wasn’t ready to work for the family business. In this episode, Wahi takes us on his entrepreneurial journey from his days at Kellogg School of Management to discovering the opportunities in solar and the founding and growth of the social enterprise Claro Energy. 


Listen to Wahi discover, through trial and error, the wisdom that his father had tried impressed upon him: focus on cash flow, create value for all stakeholders, and try to internalize the wisdom of your elders.
