New Delhi [India], June 6:\u00a0<\/strong>In a world increasingly defined by conscious consumerism and sustainability, Indha, a homegrown social enterprise, is emerging as a powerful model of how design, innovation, and rural empowerment can intersect to drive meaningful business and social change.Aimed at empowering women from underserved communities with skills that help them economically sustain themselves and live a life of dignity, Indha has trained and impacted 10,000 women and over 100 rural families positively.<\/p>\n Founded in 2005 by World\u2019s First Woman Airbus-300 Commander, Captain Indraani Singh, Indha began as a small initiative in Village Daulatabad, Gurgaon, to create sustainable livelihoods for underserved women. Today, it has evolved into ten full-fledged production and design units that repurpose CPUs, tablets, packaging wood, glass bottles, fabric waste, cardboard, and more, turning them into home d\u00e9cor, stationery, utility bags, and corporate gifts, all while preserving handmade excellence and traditional art.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve always looked inward \u2013 finding beauty, utility, and purpose in what\u2019s already around us,\u201d\u00a0says\u00a0Capt.\u00a0IndraaniSingh, Founder of\u00a0Indha\u00a0and Literacy India.\u00a0\u201cOur design thinking is rooted in frugal innovation \u2013 from making bags out of newspapers, using old sarees for children\u2019s dresses, or converting waste wood into art. This ethos eventually led us to set up our own paper recycling unit. For us, sustainability isn\u2019t a trend \u2013 it\u2019s our foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Indha\u2019s\u00a0artisans\u00a0\u2013\u00a0primarily women from rural and peri-urban communities\u00a0\u2013\u00a0are more than just skilled craftswomen; they are producers, mentors, and eco-entrepreneurs. From managing production lines and developing new product concepts to training newcomers in embroidery, printing, papercraft, and stitching, these women play a central role in shaping\u00a0Indha\u2019s\u00a0creative output.<\/p>\n Their collaboration extends beyond the physical workspace\u00a0\u2013\u00a0WhatsApp groups serve as vibrant design forums where artisans and design leads share patterns, exchange ideas, and offer daily encouragement. Leveraging technology, including AI-powered design tools,\u00a0Indha\u00a0has built a dynamic, interconnected ecosystem where innovation and knowledge flow seamlessly across centres\u2014fostering creativity, skill-sharing, and a strong sense of community.<\/p>\n Endorsed by Corporates: Conscious Gifting Goes Mainstream<\/strong><\/p>\n In recent years,\u00a0KPMG India, Orange, Dell,\u00a0Intach, Teleperformance, Sita India,\u00a0BioDerma, and other responsible businesses have partnered with\u00a0Indha\u00a0for sustainable corporate gifting and employee engagement initiatives. These partnerships not only support local artisans but also reflect the growing corporate shift towards ESG-aligned, purpose-led procurement.<\/p>\n Through a growing presence via exhibitions and institutional collaborations,\u00a0Indha\u00a0has established itself as a scalable, replicable model of circular economy that puts women, innovation,\u00a0and responsible designing at its core.<\/p>\n As India deepens its focus on sustainability, skill-building, and climate resilience, stories like Indha\u2019s serve as a powerfulreminder: solutions can come from the grassroots.<\/p>\n If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.
