Yogesh Yadav from Navsari, Gujarat, is redefining success for rural India. This forestry-trained tribal entrepreneur runs a booming startup with 120 diverse bamboo products, all engineered for sustainability. By offering viable plastic alternatives, he’s steering society towards eco-conscious habits.
His epiphany came via a third-year ELP course at Navsari Agricultural University, where bamboo projects revealed untapped commercial gold. Fueled by Gujarat’s SSIP scheme under CM Bhupendra Patel, Yogesh formalized his idea, focusing on promoting indigenous crafts.
‘Plastic poisons our planet; bamboo revives it,’ Yogesh asserts. His creations – from kitchen tools to planters – blend utility with environmental benevolence, biodegradable to the core. This venture empowers his community, generating income and awareness.
Perfectly synced with PM Modi’s self-reliance drive, Yogesh’s path lights the way for ambitious youth. Government backing has amplified his reach, turning local innovation into statewide inspiration.
With rising popularity, the startup is curbing waste and boosting green jobs. Yogesh’s narrative underscores Gujarat’s evolution: from agrarian roots to innovation hub, paving the road to a developed, sustainable India.
