What is agarbatti?

​

Traditionally used for worship, agarbatti is made of coated bamboo sticks. The lower end of the stick is usually colored, while the upper end is the part that is lit.

​

Who are the people making agarbatti in your company?

​

We are a 100% women run company. Our staff are mostly socially and financially underprivileged women who themselves make and package agarbatti at our site. They learn this in our workshops and training.

By purchasing our products, you support these women for a good cause.

We work with women including both married and unmarried women who are looking to be financially independent. These women are breadwinners in their family often supporting family members and/or children.

 

What are some benefits of working in your women run company?

​

Our women are comfortable working in an environment where they get support from other women.  Some women have survived domestic abuse or were previously confined to their homes that have now become financially independent.

They manage everything from production, packaging, labeling and other parts of agarbatti manufacturing.
