Empowering marginalized communities through green & circular economy livelihoods.
Our MissionBamboo House India envisions a world where economic progress and environmental stewardship go hand in hand — a world built on the principles of the green and circular economy. We believe that sustainability must not remain a concept for the privileged few, but a way of life that includes every individual, community, and enterprise. Our vision is to create systems where resources are regenerated, waste is reimagined as wealth, and livelihoods are created through responsible innovation.
We aspire to redefine how society perceives growth — shifting from extraction to regeneration, from exploitation to empowerment. By merging nature-based materials like bamboo with recycled and upcycled resources, Bamboo House India strives to build a model of development that restores ecosystems, empowers marginalized communities, and proves that compassion can be a powerful driver of enterprise.
Our VisionOur mission is to make sustainability inclusive — to bring the principles of a circular and green economy to the grassroots, where they can transform both lives and landscapes. We work to empower marginalized communities — including refugees, prisoners, juvenile children, sex workers, SHG women, and rural artisans — by equipping them with skills, dignity, and livelihood opportunities rooted in sustainable production and ethical craftsmanship.
Through innovative use of discarded materials such as plastic, textile, metal, and bamboo, Bamboo House India develops affordable housing, furniture, and lifestyle products that conserve natural resources and reduce waste. Our mission is to connect environmental responsibility with social equity, showing that every sustainable product can carry a story of change — a story where design, dignity, and development exist in harmony.
Bamboo House India is a Hyderabad-based social enterprise, established in 2006, pioneering green and circular economy solutions that blend environmental responsibility with social impact. What began as a simple idea to build homes from bamboo has evolved into a national movement that transforms waste into opportunity and sustainability into livelihoods.
From constructing bamboo, agricultural, and recycled plastic houses to developing furniture and lifestyle products crafted from salvaged wood, textile waste, discarded tyres and oil drums, recycled plastic, denim, and canvas waste, every initiative reflects our commitment to sustainable innovation. Through these efforts, we empower marginalized communities — including refugees, prisoners, survivors of child sexual abuse, sex workers, and tribal artisans — by providing skills, dignified livelihoods, and pathways to economic independence.
Over the years, Bamboo House India has become a model for how circular design can drive social inclusion and environmental restoration. Our work redefines sustainability — proving that compassion, innovation, and inclusion can coexist in every home built, every product crafted, and every life transformed.

Our journey began with a simple dream: to build sustainable bamboo homes that could reshape the way we live. Founders Aruna and Prashant left their corporate careers to turn this dream into reality, immersing themselves in rural India and working closely with bamboo artisans. What began as an experiment in bamboo construction soon revealed a deeper purpose: using sustainability as a tool for social transformation.
Over the years, Bamboo House India has grown far beyond housing. The founders expanded their vision to create eco-friendly housing, furniture, lifestyle products, and circular economy solutions using recycled plastics, textiles, and industrial discards. They focused on empowering marginalized communities — including refugees, prisoners, juvenile children, sex workers, and SHG women — providing training, livelihoods, and dignity. Today, under their leadership, Bamboo House India is a national movement, delivering scalable green innovations, building green and circular economy models, and creating lasting social and environmental impact across India and beyond.
