BlueMatch Impact Solutions is a Sustainable, Renewable, Clean Energy and Climate Impact based Indo-Dutch company with it’s  wide precense in India. We manufacture Zero Carbon emission Eco Cookstoves. Our unit in India is completely run by rural women who are trained to manufacture/assemble these cookstoves, demostrate and sell as well.

We were looking to enhance our sales approach and that’s when we approached Mr Thierry Tartarin from Saxion to help us out. Mr Thierry has been a great help to BlueMatch with an earlier project on sustainable fuels too. For the Sales approach project (Self Help Group) we were assigned students Nick & Thomas.

I just wanted to take a moment out and give a huge shout out to the students Nick Henriquez & Thomas Tuinman for their timely project assistance on Self Help Groups with our Indo Dutch company BlueMatch. Read their story here.

A few pointers

1) Schedule - They were punctual on the agreed schedules and were very accommodating when I had to reschedule a few meetings due to my extremely busy office schedule. 

2) Impact & Human - The best part was their consideration to talk to women in various self help groups in villages surrounding our Indian factory over a zoom call. They didn't choose the easy/lazy path of searching over the internet to do the project and I am very happy about this aspect. This shows their true involvement and commitment. 

3) The Outcome - right from flowcharts to suggestions and end result, everything was documented well at each stage and shared on time. We are glad to let you know that we have started using a few of these documents for our company presentation world wide. 

I sincerely thank the students for their commitment, contribution, dedication and professionalism for the BlueMatch's "Self Help Group" project. This means a lot to us and we need more teachers like you who encourage students to pick up such Global Projects and give them a first hand exposure to ways of working, business and knowledge transitions, culture and more in other countries. On a longer run I personally believe it will prepare them for a better future. 

Thanks again. We look forward to sharing more projects in future.
