Rethinking Waste, Shaping Futures | Ft. Sahar Mansoor & Reva Jhingan Malik | CTC | EP 12 | Part 1

UnboxingBLR Season 1 Episode 12

This episode features Sahar Mansoor, founder of Bare Necessities, a B Corp-certified zero-waste brand, and Reva Jhingan Malik of Primalise, who lives in a one-of-a-kind off-grid mud home in Bengaluru powered by rainwater harvesting and solar cooking.

Together, they explore India’s shift from the repair culture of the 70s–90s—when mandi vans and reusable bags were part of everyday life, to today’s world of instant deliveries and disposable lifestyles.

Reva reflects on the “illusion of abundance”, showing how her family thrives on 50,000 liters of stored rainwater, solar power, and plastic-free choices, all without a fridge or washing machine. It’s a story of minimalism, fresh food, and active living.

From zero-waste hacks to eco-friendly alternatives and off-grid living in Bangalore, this episode is packed with ideas for anyone curious about sustainability in India.

 Stay tuned for more conversations on zero-waste living, conscious choices, and the future of Bengaluru. Subscribe and join the journey.
