CHILTIER'S PERSONAL WEARABLE COOLING SYSTEM BASED ON PELTIER EFFECT

An India-based startup is turning thermoelectric technology into a portable, personal cooling system, delivering real-time body-temperature control through wearable devices—no air-conditioners, no large infrastructure, just efficient cooling designed around the human body.

Think of entering an environment of intense heat without relying on a huge air-conditioner, but on something that cools you down through a personal cooling device. The Delhi-based startup Chiltier is built around this premise—a personal cooling system worn by the user rather than cooling the atmosphere around them.

Established in 2024, the company is incorporated as an LLP in Delhi and aims to transition into a private limited company. The key people behind the startup include CEO Kulpreet Sahni, Eve Sahani, and Abjeet Sahani, with expertise in technology, finance, and operations, respectively.

The name combines the word ‘chilling’ with Peltier technology, reflecting the venture’s core concept. While conventional cooling systems cool spaces, this one takes a different approach by cooling people rather than rooms. The technology has the potential to create a new category of personal cooling solutions that could improve comfort, energy efficiency, and productivity on a global scale. However, the innovation did not emerge out of thin air. It was shaped by real-world experience. The founder’s background in the oil and gas industry, including work aboard ships, highlighted how excessive heat can directly affect productivity and physical well-being.
