About the project:
The Istri Project at Udhyam Vyapaar upgrades streetside ironing vendors from coal-based iron boxes to LPG-based ones. These ironing vendors are often found on street corners, serving local households. Traditional coal-based boxes cause:

  • Severe long-term health hazards

The LPG iron box is an innovation that addresses these challenges while significantly improving livelihoods.

The model has been successfully implemented in Bangalore, Chennai, Jaipur and Delhi and is now being expanded to other cities, including Lucknow and Kanpur.
