He made two modifications to a large cylindrical clay pot: a front tap and a back outlet for water pouring. Vegetables can be placed inside the lid of the larger pot, which is neatly nested inside the smaller one.

“You fill the large pot with water, about 15 litres, and because it stays cool, your vegetables stays cool as well. They can last up to four days if stored properly. Additionally, you may preserve curd, milk, and eggs in it, claims Sivasamy.

This refrigerator comes in two sizes, the smaller of which is 1.5 feet long and the larger of which is 2 feet. He claims he has already sold more than 100 refrigerators, each of which costs Rs 1,700 and Rs 1,800.
