Growing across India. Expanding across borders.

Through focused efforts, we’re strengthening our presence across India with widespread distribution, an omni-channel mix, and targeted marketing initiatives. Our shift from a Company-Owned, Company-Operated (COCO) model to a franchisee-operated format has helped us expand our exclusive Pigeon outlets to 300+ stores across 95 cities—supporting our vision of becoming a truly pan-India brand.
Internationally, we continue to build partnerships that align with our global expansion roadmap. A key milestone was the signing of our supply partnership with IKEA, one of the world’s leading retailers. Through this partnership, we will supply our cookware range for IKEA’s international stores—reinforcing our manufacturing credibility while accelerating our global aspirations.
To support this next phase of growth, we are establishing a dedicated facility aligned with global best practices.

Enriching Life and Well-being

Addressing a critical water shortage in a village near our factory, Stovekraft took proactive measures to resolve the issue by drilling a borewell. This borewell now serves over 250 families, providing a reliable source of water for both drinking and domestic purposes. Local authorities have integrated this new resource into their water supply scheme, significantly improving the villagers’ quality of life. The successful implementation of this initiative has not only alleviated the water crisis but also empowered the community to utilize this resource effectively in their daily activities.

Scaling Up Road Infrastructure

In our dedication to balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibility, Stovekraft undertook the construction of a 500-foot concrete pathway in front of our factory, which had previously been washed away during heavy rains. This infrastructure enhancement has facilitated convenient parking for our employees and supported local farmers by providing a platform to sell fresh produce directly to our workforce. This initiative has not only improved operational efficiency but also strengthened community ties.

Interventions in Primary Education

At Stovekraft, we firmly uphold the belief that every individual deserves the Right to Education. Our commitment to this fundamental principle is reflected in our various projects aimed at supporting the education of marginalized and underserved communities. Our journey began in 2010 with the sponsorship of construction materials and the renovation of local government primary school buildings. We further enhanced the learning environment by providing essential classroom furnishings, such as benches and tables, ensuring that students no longer had to sit on the floor.

Stovekraft Limited is ISO 9001:2015 certified, affirming our dedication to designing and manufacturing world-class kitchen appliances. We collaborate with local vendors and utilize automated statistical process controls to ensure consistent excellence.
