ChotuKool – Disruptive Innovation
ChotuKool, a re-imagined household solution is a project driven by an innate passion to achieve a vision beyond profit.
It is a top-loading, compact and portable cooling solution does not have a compressor.
5Team Renegade
Key Characteristics of Innovation
It weighs only 7.8 kgs and runs on a cooling chip along with a fan similar to those used to cool computers.
It consumes only 55 Watt power and runs on dual power supply (230V AC & 12V DC).
Given the power shortage in the countryside, it can operate on battery as well and it uses high-end insulation to stay cool for hours without power.
The operational cost of chotuKool is low as it consumes half the power consumed by regular refrigerators.

What’s the way forward Device cheap promotion strategy
Develop a similar device that may run without electricity
Social Media can be utilized as a Marketing medium to communicate it to the wider target audience.
Opinion leaders from Social Media can generate leads from rural India.
Tie-up with Gram Panchayats/Government will help creating sustainable dealership Channel.
Chotukool can be made mobile and mobile vans can sell it to the interior of villages.
ChotuKool can be promoted as a Business Idea to people so that they can start their own business (cold coffee, ice-cream etc) by using ChotuKool
