Professor at BRAC Business School · Founder & CEO of SOLshare
I build and study how clean energy reaches the people the grid forgot — from peer-to-peer solar microgrids in rural Bangladesh to decarbonising its industry.
Sebastian Groh is an economist, educator and entrepreneur working at the intersection of energy access, climate and the just energy transition. He pioneered swarm electrification — interconnecting individual solar home systems into peer-to-peer microgrids — and founded SOLshare to deliver reliable, affordable electricity to low-income households across Bangladesh.
He teaches at BRAC Business School in Dhaka, holds a PhD in economics from TU Berlin and Aalborg University, and trained at Stanford and Harvard Business School. His research on decentralised energy is published widely, and his ventures have been recognised from the Earthshot Prize to the Zayed Sustainability Prize.
