OUR APPROACH
We believe in CIRCULARITY, which is the core of harmony in nature. We work towards citizen participation and awareness for better sustainability, along with facilitating users to reach out to various kinds of solution and service providers. We hope to be the catalyst to increase the citizen participation and support sustaining green businesses with a view to have social and environmental impact at scale.
PRAKALP
All of our sustainability case studies stem from our 3 flagship undertakings called Bodhi, Mantu, and Prayog. Or in simple terms, Research, Consultation, and Initiatives. We believe that building a nexus of solutions and platforms to deliver a structured outcome towards environmental sustainability will establish a better ecosystem for the waste management sector.
BODHI
We undertake research to further the goal of circularity in waste management by mapping systems, services, stakeholders, technologies, markets, and demands.
MANTU

PRAYOG

CHAKRA MANDALA
We need to be ‘ChakraM’ i.e., consciously believing in the concept of circularity for leading a sustainable lifestyle. Be waste conscious! Be energy conscious! is the mantra of the coming era.
WASTE WITH WISDOM
Easy access to information improves people’s willingness to work towards sustainability. We aim to develop a knowledge bank around waste management, making it easier to impart learnings and best practices.
TOGETHER WE CAN
Our approach is to interact, communicate, and engage with a variety of stakeholders for the widespread adoption of sustainability initiatives at an individual, neighbourhood, and/or organisational level.
GREEN ECOSYSTEMS
Our approach is to help people connect with a variety of waste management initiatives and solutions on an integrated platform and thus create a larger impact by increasing people’s participation towards climate change and sustainability.
IT IS NOT NEW!
Our Indian society has been a follower of sustainable practices since ages, where circularity was more a habit than a jargon. We had a habit of using only what we need, reusing old items and repairing what is broken, which was why the task to adapt to sustainable living was an easy one.
We used to segregate plastics and recyclable material which use to go to a kabadiwala or a boharin as a barter for new material or as sale of scrap. With vanishing informal links hampering the ease of business and easy access to new and shiny goods our habits have changed.
We need to recreate that balance by establishing the nexus of citizen participation, open market and programmes to facilitate the chain.
CIRCULARITY as a value which comes to us through our culture.
CULTURAL KATTA
Awareness generation for behaviour change has been a consistent effort for developing and grooming of our society. Our traditions have been supporting the cause through forms of culture and traditions. Though the thematic and references have changed the forms that were earlier used prove to be more effective in communicating with the masses of various cohorts of the society.
Vasudev is a community of devotees of Shri Krishna. Traditionally Vasudev is a wanderer who used to visit the village, towns in the early morning and sing songs that represented the ideal philosophy of Indian society. This is the traditional way to communicate the values and drive the society towards the expected change in behaviour. Vasudev had a great connect with individuals from other communities which helped to create peer groups which further worked on various aspects of the society.
Burgunda is a folk-art form which was performed at community level. The art form was developed to connect with people in the local language to communicate the logic behind the various practices and traditions followed in the society. This depicts through a conversation between two people a scenario where listeners are made aware about logic of various societal practices and are shown the mirror on probable outcomes if followed otherwise. It is strong communication method which pokes individuals to perform their duties towards society.
Kirtan is a tradition which is practiced in temples and other community centres. The form refers to and spreads the teachings of the great individuals and spiritual leaders in a form of narrative. It has always been used to share examples of people within society to motivates other. In present language it presents research, analysis, inferences and references to the best cases
