Kamal Haasan Meets Bloom Energy Founder In California To Discuss Clean Energy Solutions For Tamil Nadu

Kamal Haasan, along with other dignitaries from India, will be speaking at Harvard Business School’s 15th edition of the India Conference 2018.

The conference aims to bring together India’s thought leaders for a weekend of discussions and brainstorming sessions and discuss possible exciting opportunities for the country.

The actor, who’s currently in the US for the conference, met Dr KR Sridhar, Founder and CEO of Bloom Energy in Sunnyvale, California. He is also planning to meet other world influencers from Tamil Nadu who are in the US.

Bloom Energy is a privately owned energy development company founded in 2002 to research on the regeneration of solid fuel cells.

In a statement that was released earlier, Sridhar said, “It was a real pleasure to host Kamal Haasan at Bloom Energy and give him a tour of our factory. I enjoyed sharing with him our vision for electrification of India and the world. He urged me to consider powering remote areas in Tamil Nadu first. I am hopeful that the visit and the discussion will pave the path for such projects in the near future.”

On his experience at Bloom Energy, Haasan said, “Glad I discovered Bloom Energy. Now that I have seen Bloom’s vision it gives me a vicarious pleasure of being part of this endeavour. I see a future where Tamil Nadu could be Bloom’s champion customer. I would rather that Bloom and Dr Sridhar would kindly consider Tamil Nadu as their sleeping partner/giant that they can awaken for the world to see. It would make India and Tamil Nadu proud.”

Haasan is set to start his political journey on February 21 from Rameshwaram and will also reveal the name of his political party.
