Rationale
Husk Power Systems is looking to do a startup on a generator that will produce electricity
in rural areas in India. The company wants to provide the rural communities in India with
electricity that the citizens do not have to pay for. I propose a multi-generator that uses solar
panels and wind turbines to generate electricity. Having two ways to produce electricity througl
the generators will allow the company to produce electricity during sunny days, cloudy days.
windy days, or during thunderstorms. This will fit into the company's plan as this will allow the
free usage of electricity to their citizens. Wind and solar panels are ways that the company can
produce electricity that they will have to use a big budget to operate.
Problem or Opportunity
The citizens of India believed that electricity to be free for them to use, which came from
a promise from the Indian Government to provide free electricity to rural villages. This multi-
generator allows the company to provide the citizens free electricity by using nature to produce
and generate the power grid to give power to all. This opportunity will be able to provide the
villages with the electricity which can be used whether it is cloudy or sunny. This will allow the
being energized so that during the night, it will still have charge throughout the night to provide
power to the citizens. Also, the wind will provide power to the system so that it will stay
energized. Combining these two sources, the citizens will have to worry about having no power
at night, during storms, or sunny without any wind. This multi-generator will solve the problem
that the company is having to provide power to the citizens of India.

Company
The company is trying to help the economy grow by giving electricity for free to its
citizens. Giving free electricity to their citizens will allow them to advertise to other parts of the
world that they can live in India without having to worry about electricity in their homes. This
new product will allow them to provide this service to the customers while using nature to fuel
the generators to produce the electricity to them effectively and at all times. This new innovative
product will allow the company to get a competitive advantage over other companies. While
other companies are trying to improve their current products, this new multi-generator will be a
game-changer in the field of electricity. Also, in addition to value-adding innovations in products
and services, innovation in management, production, and supply chain value-adding processes is
fertile ground for creating and sustaining organizational competitive advantage (Caldwell &
Anderson, 2017). The management and production will allow the company to be able to keep the
competitive advantage by creating a new standard on producing electricity another way than
what they use now. This product will allow the company to give citizens
