Financial autonomy is quite important to everyone, isn’t it? We believe everyone has the right to it, and that includes our employees. That is why we ensure we credit Adaaya’s employees’ salaries into their own accounts, and never their partners’ accounts. When the employees, mainly women, receive their salaries, they know the work they put into earning it. As a result, they don’t squander it away. Instead, they save it up for the future, or spend it on their children’s education. This is Adaaya’s mission—the empowerment of women, and of society!

How safe do you feel at work? Here at Adaaya, we take employee safety very seriously. In fact, our factory’s location keeps the employees safe. With almost the whole workforce comprised of women, it is extremely important that their security is seen to. The factory is located in an industrial area with no unsafe areas. Everyone constantly has someone watching their backs for them and the women are kept safe. Workplace culture is an integral part of women’s safety, and at Adaaya, we strive to inculcate it in all our employees so there are never any untoward incidents. We hope that someday, we won’t have to worry about women’s safety so much!

Adaaya is a social enterprise. While making a living for ourselves, we also aim to help save the environment from further damage. Further, we also believe in making our employees’ lives better. Adaaya has, from the start, made it a point to employ as many women as possible. We have succeeded and provided a stable income to many rural households by employing the ladies of the households. They are now able to afford a good education for their children. Adaaya has also provided job security to all of its employees and given them benefits and perks that they need for a good standard of life. This is something every enterprise should be doing, don’t you think?

Every successful company has an origin story worth telling, and Adaaya is no different. One day, Adaaya’s founder Roli happened to read an article about how a large retail chain was looking to sell eco-friendly tableware. Her entrepreneurial mind-set and an interest in sustainable living meant the opportunity was right up her alley.  Growing up, Roli’s husband T. Harsh had seen palm leaves being used in traditional Indian applications, and he knew this was the perfect answer to the problem. One feasibility check later, he had confirmed it was a viable business idea. Then Harsh joined Roli as a partner, and together they started Adaaya’s journey in 2014. Stay tuned to know more about Adaaya’s journey!

“Ecosia is a search engine that allows you to be a part of tree planting around the world without even lifting a finger off your keyboard. Every 50 searches Ecosia plants a new tree with the ad money they earn.” – BoredPanda.com

This effort is just like a drop in the ocean but a drop is enough to begin a change. Similarly, the Versova Beach cleanliness campaign or Japan using scrap metals to manufacture the medals for Olympic and Paralympic games are some bold initiatives taken by individuals and governments to pacify the hazardous effects of human actions. ly, when you select a text box.

Areca Leaf plates

Currently, the world generates 12 billion tones of solid waste amongst which 34% of the world’s waste is generated by the rich countries like The USA, China, Canada and the members of European Union. Trust me the nature has no “Beauty Mode” with it through which it could transform in a matter of seconds. With the air becoming dangerously toxic, millions tones of plastic being dumped in the oceans and thousands of species entering the endangered list,  has made us thinking and take up responsibility for our share of crap.

Like a ray of sunlight in the never-ending darkness, individuals and organizations are taking steps to reduce the use of plastic and increase the use of biodegradable cutlery and tableware. Areca leaves are an important source of raw material for such eco-friendly products. With world’s 80% Areca nuts being produced in India, the trees shed around 28.8 to 32.4 million leaves annually which go to waste or are burnt. However, the present environment conscious entrepreneurs and the technological advancement have helped to convert leaves into compostable products.

Today the need of the hour is awakening, an awakening to realize that our future generation is counting upon us to provide them with sustainable environment that they can ‘live’ in.
