What specific problem are you solving?
Bare Necessities is building something uniquely Indian, while creating zero waste, earth friendly alternatives to traditional personal care products that are often packed in plastic and loaded with chemicals. Our goal is to divert 5000 kilograms of plastic by 2030, thereby addressing the largest global garbage of our lifetime.
Taking a cradle-to-cradle approach, from the design to manufacturing to distribution, we incorporate high quality, local and native ingredients, using reusable, recyclable and compostable packaging.
Most conventional home care soaps are 90% water, effectively customers are forced to pay for transporting water, resulting in a higher carbon footprint. Instead, we created waterless hand wash, dish wash and multi surface cleaner soaps that contain just 10% of the active ingredients. You mix the active ingredients with tap water at home, stir away and you now have ready to use soaps in 15 minutes!
Our soaps come packaged in compostable sachets and we offer a durable glass dispenser designed to last a lifetime! This system not only eliminates plastic waste and carbon emissions by about 80-90%, but it also makes zero waste living super accessible.
Our innovative approach is transforming the FMCG industry, leading the way for conscious consumption.

Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
We are committed to creating stable green jobs, particularly for underserved communities. Women from underserved communities handcraft our personal care products. We not only heavily focus on employing women, but provide them and their children with health insurance, helping each of them with financial inclusion. Furthermore, we are committed to constantly upskill the women through additional skill training, workshops and computer courses among others. Our partnerships with reforestation organisation Maruvan and waste warrior empowerment group Hasiru Dala demonstrate our commitment to making a positive impact. By creating stable green jobs, empowering underserved communities, we champion social and economic progress.
