Have an idea to change the world?

No Nasties

Level 1, 2011

No Nasties aims to provide a means for the Indian consumers to make an impact on the fair trade, ethical, organic market without having to alter their lifestyle. This impact would improve the conditions of farmers in the cotton belt and factory workers, as well as the environment through ethical trade practices. No Nasties also uses the fair trade premium for community development: schools, hospitals, storage warehouses, funds for distressed farmers, solar power, etc

Apurva has 8 years experience in product design in startups and enterprises, while Diti works as a freelance Graphic Designer with experience in Design Strategy and Communications. Due to limited options in eco-friendly clothing brands as a consumer, Apurva and Diti teamed up to build a business that could fill this void and be sustainable in all aspects - financially, socially and environmentally – as well as be fashionable & stylish.

What People Are Saying About UnLtd India

The incubation team has helped me put systems in place and boost my targeted budget from 1 to 7 lakh rupees. Interacting with other investees has pushed me to think about my community and approach partnerships in new ways. Other investees think big, so I do too.

- Ashok Rathod, Oscar

I am infected by the energy of UnLtd India investees. They are extremely passionate about the cause they choose and go after it with all seriousness. I have truly enjoyed working with them.

- Amitabh Mall, Principal at The Boston Consulting Group

Every new organisation faces challenges. Every day you wake up and there are more headaches, more things that will go wrong, more cash flow issues. But the peers we work with at UnLtd India give us the confidence to continue.

- Will Muir, Equal Community Foundation

Going into this, I had no management experience; I didn't know how to run an organization. That's where UnLtd India's support has been invaluable.

- Pooja Taparia, Arpan

"Unreasonable Visionaries" is the term I use for UnLtd India investees. They are visionaries with a passion for change and are unreasonable because they refuse to accept obstacles in their course. I am extremely happy with my decision to be on the panel.

- Suman Srivastava, Former CEO at Euro RSCG

The support from UnLtd India has pushed my team to develop more innovate methods of teaching. Personally, I'm much more confident in pitching my idea, identifying the support I need and then asking others for real guidance.

- Ramesh Joshi, Aashansh

For us, UnLtd India's support in mentoring, vision building, building our capacity to deliver, moving from a particular level to the next level, as a business, as an enterprise -- I think those are the big things.

- Vijaya Pastala, Under the Mango Tree
