Sandeep Zanzaria and the distance between power and possibility
From a graduate engineer’s job at BHEL to leading GE Vernova T&D India, Sandeep Zanzaria has spent his career on the connections that make electricity useful. India’s energy transition is bringing that work into sharper view.

The 1910 mining-repair shop that quietly became the backbone of the world's power grids and railways is now betting its next century on AI you can touch.
Leitnium (Formerly YouSolar)
Leitnium, formerly YouSolar, is a Santa Clara-based clean-energy hardware company building the PowerBloc, a modular solar-plus-battery nanogrid that runs on a constant 400-volt DC architecture. Founded in 2010 by physicist Dr. Arnold Leitner, the company sells a plug-and-play private power plant that integrates solar panels, lithium-ion batteries, and optional grid or generator inputs into one intelligent, scalable system. The pitch is simple: give a home or small business its own always-on grid, so the lights never flicker even when the utility goes dark.
