Vinita Baravkar, Bhumi Organic Cotton

Have you ever thought about the clothes you wear, and the bedding you use as having a significant impact on your health? Our podcast guest Vinita Baravkar, founder of Bhumi Organic Cotton, will lift the veil on an industry that we literally wrap ourselves in daily and one that we are very rarely without. When you truly understand this insight - the choice to change to more ethical, sustainable and chemical free textile products becomes a choice you’ll make with conviction.

Vinita founded Bhumi organic cotton after she journeyed through India, seeing the devastating effects that synthetic textiles have on human health and the environment.
