create sustainable lifestyles- which is the need of the hour today! Our happy pencils, made of recycled newspaper serve as the starting points for developing and inculcating these habits.

she wanted to start designing and making products from waste. Being an eco-architect, She was practicing green architecture in Auroville and Delhi, before working in Pune. During that leave, she finalized on a name, made a logo and even started making products at home . Within two weeks, she had signed up for an exhibition at a flea market. Thus, began the struggle of working for 8 hours in the day time and 5 hours through the night to make the products required for the very first exhibition cum sale. The outcome just motivated her to do better every single day until she finally quit her job in September 2017. That’s how Araatrika came in to her life and they’ve been growing together ever since.

Araatrika comes from “A- Ratri” , a Sanskrit word for something that diminishes the darkness and brings light into one’s life. That’s what we do, we make up-cycle, re-cycle, and make sustainable products to bring green back into a world full of greys and blacks!
