WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Nairobi – Kenyan-born Aparna Doshi was last week named Co-chair of the US India Business Council (USIBC) Solar Power Task Force, a major new initiative to promote US-India trade and investment in the growing solar power sector.

Ms Doshi is Astonfield Renewable Resources chief operating officer. As the subcommittee of USIBC’s Energy, Environment, Enterprise (EEE) Executive Committee, comprised of more than 100 members, the USIBC Solar task force will be pivotal in the development of clean energy in India and beyond.

“Ms. Doshi’s expertise in both solar power business development and policy setting will make her leadership to the committee’s work invaluable,” read a statement released by the company last week. Astonfield has established itself as a leader in the renewable energy markets of India and is setting

its sights on other regions, including Africa. As the company expands into emerging markets such as those in East Africa, it will leverage its global solar experience and economies of scale achieved from the Indian market. Astonfield is also seeking strategic partnerships with local companies to develop projects in EA.

The establishment of the task force is an important milestone in US-India collaboration and comes at a very opportune time, just prior to the upcoming November visit of the US President, Barack Obama, to India.

“I sincerely believe that countries like India and Africa will become world leaders in solar power generation and manufacturing, and I am honored to have been asked to provide leadership to this ambitious project. The USIBC Task Force will be a powerful influence in the US and Indian solar sectors and I look forward to expanding on our current successes in India and bring clean energy solutions to the markets of East Africa,” said Aparna Doshi.

A native of Mombasa, Aparna Doshi oversees the corporate and operations strategy of Astonfield. She works with the leadership team in implementing Astonfield’s strategy and with the technical partners and the finance and operations team to ensure execution of the company’s portfolio.

Astonfield Renewable Resources is the largest multi-modality renewable energy company in South Asia. With a portfolio of nearly 1,000MW of solar, biomass and waste-to-energy projects, Astonfield is deploying affordable clean energy solutions in emerging markets across the world.
