IIT is acronym for Indian Institute Technology, a government-owned
technical college.

Women of Chattarpur, a village in south Delhi, have appropriated the
Philips design with IIT boys' help and make modern wood stoves for sale.

I don't know if the business will be over when everybody in their village
and the expanding metropolitan area without LPG or piped natural gas
connections would have bought one or two Philips stove.

Is this a caution to Philips, et al. who seek to sell stoves in India?

Questions worth discussing at Clean Cooking Forum 2017.
