Hot Off the Stove? Envirofit Sells Out; Ramps Up
Last month, NextBillion ally and BOPreneur Paul Hudnut reported on his blog that Envirofit, a company he helped start, had already sold 10,000 high-efficiency cookstoves to BoP consumers in India.
This week, Envirofit announced that it was ramping up production to meet demand - though not on Paul's blog. Was this higher profile? Judge for yourself:

And there's more:

Congrats to Paul and the Envirofit team. I'm sure their friends at Shell are pleased, as is their sales team.

Hot off the stove? envirofit sellsout
The envirofit stoves with prices ranging from Rs.700 to 2800 are way beyond the capacity of the low income households who form 65% of the Indian population.Only the 10% of the middle to higher income segment can go for them;like the family shown in the publicity video.The stove may reduce IAP and save fuelwood but it is not for the BOP segment;perhaps the price can be brought down by reducing the showy part of the stove to help the poorest.
