Our Mission

Across most of India today, cement and concrete have become the default for construction. While widely used, this approach is incredibly energy-inefficient and environmentally damaging. Our rivers are being stripped of the sand and stone essential for concrete production, leaving ecosystems destabilized and water systems degraded. At the same time, India is now the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world — with construction contributing over 30% of those emissions.

Cement buildings trap heat in summer and cold in winter, making them heavily reliant on artificial cooling and heating. It’s a system that consumes massive amounts of energy — and it's become our norm.

What’s especially disheartening is how we’ve discarded the wisdom of our ancestors. For generations, communities across the subcontinent built homes suited to their climate using local materials — structures that breathed, adapted, and endured. Today, instead of working with nature, we're constantly fighting against it.

Since 2020, our mission has been to bring back that forgotten knowledge — and merge it with modern techniques and technologies to create buildings that are sustainable, efficient, and built to last with minimal maintenance. Not just for the environment, but for the people who live in them.
