As sentimental as they are, Rakhis are eventually discarded when the knots snap. But why not acquire one that will grow in the form of life?
It’s that time of year when crores of sisters and even brothers swarm to the marketplaces to find a unique rakhi. However, the growing market of plastic and synthetic rakhis is taking a toll on mother earth, harming its beauty and imbalancing the ecosystem. The humongous plastic rakhis dump is adding to the already piled-up waste.
Every year, 620 million non-biodegradable rakhis end up in the garbage that never decomposes, resulting in 1.18 billion tonnes of carbon footprints on the planet. Shocking, right? A solution to this disruption became the need of the hour. So, after two years of extensive analysis and hard effort, Mr Nitin Jain, CEO & Founder of The Indibni Group with this ardent team created the world’s first-ever Seed Rakhi- a hand-crafted, recycled rakhi was invented.

“An alternative to the plastic-made rakhis with his initiative – Seed Rakhi.”
Seed Rakhis, as the name suggests, are plantable! As a result, you may see nature’s richness grow and mature within your home, reminding you of your unique sibling connection. And who doesn’t want a souvenir to remind them of their beautiful sibling’s love and affection?
Speaking on the issue, he says “Seed Rakhi is more than a campaign. It is an innovative, sustainable approach taken with an intention to bring about a solid change by putting forth a collaborative effort to save the environment, to uplift the farmers, artisans, and women of India, and to make celebrations an eco-friendly affair.”
