Chotukool is a small refrigerator launched in 2007 by Godrej to address the lack of refrigeration in rural India. It occupies very little space, making it suitable for small homes and shops. Over 80% of rural Indians use Chotukool, as it can store food and help reduce waste, benefiting small business owners. Chotukool is affordable, costing around 3790 rupees. Godrej partners with Indian post offices for reliable delivery of Chotukool units to rural villages. While effective for small shops, Chotukool may not be suitable for large businesses due to its small size and longer timeline to generate profits.
