Meet Seema Prasad of Mysuru, Karnataka who has successfully found a way to reduce the use of plastic in our day-to-day life. Her answer to plastic is the unimaginable bottle gourd. She makes several items like containers, storage vessels, vases, pen stands, lampshades, etc from the thick skin of the vegetable. She launched Krishikala, her own venture, in 2017 with her husband Krishna Prasad. The women, children, corporate employees, artisans and farmers are trained to use the bottle gourds and shape them into beautiful and decorative day-to-day items. Seema’s entrepreneurship is not only sustainable, but also aims to create livelihood of tribal and rural women.
