From Ice Slabs to Smart Cubes: Evolution of Informal Ice Commerce to Branded Cold-Chain Systems in Semi-Urban India

  From Ice Slabs to Smart Cubes: Evolution of Informal Ice Commerce to Branded Cold-Chain Systems in Semi-Urban India   Abstract This paper explores the transformation of household ice procurement systems in semi-urban India—from informal neighborhood “Krina-style” ice shops supplying rough ice slabs to the emergence of branded, hygienic, and organized ice-cube distribution networks. Using a qualitative case-based approach rooted in lived experiences and supported by secondary insights on cold-chain development, the study analyzes shifts in consumption patterns, hygiene perception, employment structures, and micro-enterprise evolution. The findings highlight how even a simple commodity like ice reflects broader economic formalization and infrastructural progress.   Keywords: Ice distribution systems; Informal economy; Cold-chain infrastructure; Semi-urban India; Household consumption patterns; Ice-cube industry; Branded ice products; Micro-enterprise transformat...
