Clean Cooking Activities
New Ventures is currently working on an initiative that tries to develop the capacity of local village based entrepreneurs to be able to sell clean energy products such as cookstoves better. We have partnered with leading cookstove companies across India for the project. The companies include Envirofit, First Energy Oorja, Sustaintech, TIDE, Grameen Infra etc. The overall objective of the New Ventures project is to develop stronger partnerships between Clean Energy Access companies like the ones mentioned above and VLE (Village Level Entrepreneur ) networks . The VLE model is a decentralized local approach for addressing market based challenges in reaching out to rural areas. New Ventures reached out to the leading VLE networks and clean energy companies working with the VLE model to understand details of their operation. The project is currently operational across India and aims to see that over 10,000 cookstoves are sold across the country due to such partnerships.
We recently conducted 3 workshops for cookstove companies and VLE networks.
