Katsaro has come up with a solar-powered light bulb which he is planning to make available to the people of developing countries, via his model of for-profit entrepreneurship instead of the non-profit route. Katsaro has named his company Nokero, as in no kerosene, and he follows a social entrepreneurship model in order to bring light to a 1.6 billion people using his charge-by-day and run-by-night bulbs.
The developing world faces issues like potable water scarcity, inadequate food, unaffordable lighting, and Katsaro believes the social entrepreneurship model can help fix these issues in an inclusive manner.

Entrepreneurship is widely seen as the key to the recovery of the economy since two thirds of the new jobs are generated by these small businesses. According to the Kauffman Foundation, which provides support for entrepreneurship, small businesses are often seen to increase the job growth during the starting phase.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has stated in a recent report on entrepreneurship that the number of new businesses that started in the financial year that ended on March 2010 was lower than any other year. The technology and web based economy are doing well with many new entrepreneurs emerging in the Silicon Valley but the basic economy is not in such a good condition. If this continues then entrepreneurship might take a backseat in many minds.
