How CoolRoot Changed the Summer

How CoolRoot Changed the Summer

The Summer That Changed Everything

Back in the scorching summer of 2022, I found myself drenched in sweat during a power cut in Bihar. The fan was blowing hot air and frustration was at its peak. That’s the moment when I thought — why isn’t there a small, USB-powered cooler that’s affordable, portable, and actually effective?

The heatwave moment that triggered the CoolRoot idea

Problem Dekhna, Solution Sochna

I realized that millions of Indian households face the same issue — no AC, unreliable power, and unbearable heat. I envisioned a solution that was:

  • Compact and portable
  • USB-powered
  • Had a built-in water tank
  • Eco-friendly and power-efficient
  • Modern in design with LED lights

First Prototype, First Struggle

My first few samples from Alibaba and 1688 failed. Either they were too noisy, too weak, or poorly built. But after refining the design, testing manually, and customizing every part — the CoolRoot prototype was born.

CoolRoot Logo Vision

The logo combines a leaf (nature), a fan (cooling), energy spark (innovation), and a touch of Indian identity. It reflects everything we stand for.

Final Word from the Founder

“Main bhi ek middle-class ladka hoon jise garmi se nafrat thi. Jab solution nahi mila, maine khud banaya. CoolRoot ek product nahi, ek jazba hai. Aandhi aaye, light jaye, lekin thandak bani rahe.”
