The first project taken on by eCoexist involved working with a group of women farmers in Sirsi, Karnataka that came together under the name Vanastree. These women who ran organic farms and kitchen gardens worked with us to develop our range of completely natural Holi colours. Over a period of eight years, eCoexist worked closely with Vanastree to evolve the Rang Dulaar product and take it to market. In this process, the women learnt about various aspects of running a business including stock management, quality control and costing.
