SOIL is a social enterprise for profit, whose essence is etched in 4 wordsPEOPLE & PLANET FIRST1. 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 with however, the wrought of a dramatic depletion of our planet and a hopeless bypass of the masses, across the world. 3. Lack of inclusive growth and climate catastrophe, harboured us to conceive ‘Soil of India’. Committed to revive over a 100 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 a heritage and culture of over 5000 years.4. Initiated in 2012 with 6 extended years of research and grass root connectivity, SOIL laid the foundation of a robust ‘sustainable lifestyle’ platform, aligned to 5 of the 17 UNSDGs, that is in timely congruence with the exponentially growing world-wide movement of ‘Conscious Consumerism’.5. The story does not have an end as it is 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 the empowerment of thousands of rural artisans and you have revived the best of Indian handicrafts showcasing them to the world.
