Le Rythme and Enphase Energy empower underprivileged youth in Telangana
Le Rythme, the implementing partner for Enphase Energy’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in India, has successfully completed the “Skills Ignite Potential, Empowering Futures” programme. The three-month training initiative focused on Solar PV Operation & Maintenance (O&M) and employability skills, targeting youth from economically weaker sections in Telangana.
The programme benefited approximately 50 young participants, including women, from Jagtial, Nizamabad, Nirmal, and surrounding districts. It aimed to equip them with industry-relevant green skills to enhance employability and open pathways to sustainable livelihoods in the renewable energy sector.
According to Le Rythme’s internal assessment, the initiative achieved over 70 per cent placement and self-employment outcomes.
This project aligns with Enphase Energy’s CSR priorities in India, which emphasise skill development and community empowerment through clean energy-focused training.
Sunil Thamaran, Managing Director (India) & Chief People Officer, Enphase Energy, said:
“At Enphase Energy, we believe that sustainability initiatives should also contribute to inclusive growth. Through this initiative, we are enabling youth from underserved communities to participate in India’s clean energy transition. By supporting access to green skills training and livelihood opportunities, we aim to contribute to the development of a skilled workforce in the renewable energy sector.”
Dr. Rajib Mukhapadhyay, Co-Founder and Trustee of Le Rythme, added:
“Beyond enhancing employability and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities, skill development programs have become increasingly critical in the context of the global commitment to mitigating climate change and accelerating the transition to clean energy. Such initiatives help develop a future-ready workforce capable of supporting the rapid growth of the renewable energy sector, contributing to long-term environmental sustainability, and enabling India to fulfill its commitments and leadership role on global climate and sustainability platforms.”
The collaboration between Le Rythme and Enphase Energy highlights the growing role of private sector CSR efforts in bridging the skill gap in India’s renewable energy industry while promoting social inclusion and environmental sustainability.
