Kalpavriksha

Kalpavriksha draws inspiration from the divine mythological tree that fulfills all human needs. It is envisioned as an e-commerce platform, titled Shop and Donate. The goal is to curate niche products of value from different regions of the country and make them available for purchase on this platform. A distinctive aspect of this approach is that the total cost payable by the buyer will transparently reflect the cost incurred by the organisation, along with a profit element that will be considered a donation for supporting various activities within the foundation.
