OUR STORY

Soil is a social Enterprise whose essence is etched in 4 words

PEOPLE & PLANET. FIRST

With over 3 decades of global business advisory and strategic marketing, team SOIL witnessed the evolution of 'local to global' and its consequent economic surge however, at the cost of a dramatic depletion of our planet and a hopeless bypass of the masses, across the world.

Lack of inclusive growth and climate catastrophe, led us to conceive Soil of India. Committed to revive over a 200 million artisans

(the world's largest sustainable lifestyle production base. 60% women) by globally repositioning the magnificence of their all natural, handmade creations - a legacy of India's heritage and culture of over 5000 years

Initiated in 2012 with 6 years of research and over 100,000 miles of travel into the gut of India SOIL laid the foundation of a robust

'Sustainable Lifestyle' platform, aligned to 5 of the 17 UNSDGs,

that is in timely congruence with an exponentially growing

world-wide movement of 'Conscious Consumerism'.

HANDMADE INDIA

The story does not have an end thus far, as it's merely a prelude

to a movement of epic proportions, envisioning the creation

of the World's Largest Sustainable Fashion Label in the future.

A future though, of inclusive growth and

alignment to nature, for the well-being of humanity.

"Your Journey has led to empowerment of thousands of rural artisans and you have revived

the best of Indian handicrafts showcasing them to the world.

Your innovative business model is good for the planet, good for women and good for

India's sustainable development"

-The Economic Times Women's Forum(India's lead business paper): Quote on Soil Of India, 2019
