About Bamboo India
Bamboo India is a social enterprise founded in Pune, India, by Mrs. Ashwini Shinde and Mr. Yogesh Shinde in 2016. Their mission goes beyond just selling products; it's about revolutionizing the perception of bamboo and its potential to create positive change.
The company aims to transform bamboo from "The Poor Man's Timber" to a respected, sustainable material. They achieve this by offering innovative, plastic-free alternatives – from toothbrushes and earbuds to corporate gifts – all crafted from bamboo. Driven by a strong social conscience, their motto is "It's not for the income, but for the outcome."
Bamboo India tackles a significant environmental issue: plastic pollution. They empower rural Indian artisans by incorporating them into their value chain, providing opportunities and fostering economic independence. By choosing Bamboo India products, you become a part of this impactful social movement.
Their commitment extends beyond social impact. Bamboo itself is a remarkable resource. As "the wise man's timber," it grows rapidly, reaching maturity within a few years. This fast-growing, renewable material offers a viable alternative to traditional timber, minimizing environmental impact.
Looking ahead, Bamboo India has ambitious goals. By the end of 2025, they aim to empower over 1000 families through their bamboo mission. Additionally, they strive to significantly reduce plastic waste by encouraging the use of their innovative bamboo products, targeting a reduction of 10 lakh kilograms (1000 tonnes) annually.
