Powering India's renewable future.

Vijay Galani's entrepreneurial story is self-made. A first-generation businessman with no inherited enterprise behind him, he chose his sector and built his company from the ground up — at a moment when India's rooftop solar market was structurally fragmented and waiting for organised operators to step in.

Sahayog Energy was founded to close that gap. Many unorganised installers, no clear customer pathway through brand selection, financing or government subsidy — Vijay built the company that finally offered customers a single trustworthy place to go. The category was new; the operating instincts — distribution discipline, dealer trust, on-ground execution — were earned the hard way, by doing the work.

Today the company operates across India through a partner network of installers, financiers and OEMs, and is recognised as one of India's leading rooftop solar system integrators. Around it, Vijay has built a group of ventures — VVP Solar Pvt. Ltd. (manufacturing & EPC), V.V. Patel & Co. (trading) and Sahayog Ferti Chem (agri-inputs) — each constructed on the same playbook: real assets, real customers, patient execution. Vijay has moved from founder-operator to founder-CEO, leading strategy, capital and increasingly representing the rooftop solar category in industry conversations.

Vijay's capital allocation reflects the same conviction that built Sahayog Energy: India needs more of certain things, and the businesses that deliver them well — with quality, with patience, with execution — will compound for decades.

He is invested across the group of ventures he has built — spanning rooftop solar integration (Sahayog Energy), solar manufacturing and EPC (VVP Solar Pvt. Ltd.), agri-input chemicals (Sahayog Ferti Chem) and trading (V.V. Patel & Co.). The breadth is deliberate. The throughline is also deliberate: real assets, real customers, categories where execution and patience matter more than narrative.

The horizon is long. Capital is placed for the long compound, not the short cycle — and it is placed in things India needs more of, not less.

Vijay actively engages with SME founders — particularly in renewable energy, dealer-led distribution categories, family-business transitions and the broader ecosystem of small and medium enterprises that form the backbone of the Indian economy.

The work is informal and direct. Founders reach out for a conversation about market entry into rooftop solar, how to structure a family enterprise for the next generation, how to navigate India's solar subsidy regime under PM Surya Ghar, how to build a dealer channel without burning venture-style capital, or how to think about the next decade of a manufacturing business. Vijay engages personally.

Beyond one-on-one engagement, he speaks at industry forums on rooftop solar economics, India's renewable transition, and the role of organised players in the country's energy story. His point of view — built from a decade-plus of building a real business — is that the SME founder's job is to compound trust, not chase rounds.
