Youth Category Award – Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition

December 22, 2021

Last week, House of Udyog founders and students of Grade 10, Rushil and Aarush Khanna, were awarded third place in the “Best Projects 2021” Category of the global Youth Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition.

The Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition (CEC) is a part of the Entrepreneurship Campus and was initiated to empower entrepreneurs all around the world to create innovative answers to global and/or community challenges and to engage in a more peaceful and sustainable world.

House of Udyog promotes Sustainable Development Goals by using recycled materials for pret wear, minimising their carbon footprint. Their products are ideal for the new age conscious buyer who is committed to the ingenuity of the “Make in India” initiative. House of Udyog also ensures artisans direct-to-consumer access to uplift communities and preserve livelihoods.

Once the knitting clips are collected by House of Udyog, the sorting is done colour wise and are then processed again into fibre. Since spinning alone of these clips does not regenerate fibre, the fibre from polyester PET bottles is added for the spinning process. This material is naturally recycled avoiding the need for any chemical treatment. The regenerated material is called Melange Yarn and is one of the finest yarns for casual wear. It is also GRS (Global Recycle Standard) Certified.

Aarush and Rushil presented their sustainable business idea along with 1970+ other participants from around the world and bagged third place.

We congratulate our resident entrepreneurs and wish House of Udyog the best for future endeavours!
