Our world is interconnected

Together, let's resolve to consume differently!

The twig that kindles fire

Arani is a sanskrit word for the sacred wood used to start a fire
In this spirit, we embarked on an effort to fight single-use plastic pollution in 2021. A tiny spark then, it is truly firing up now!

Who we are?

A brand of daily-use consumer products designed as dry concentrates and packaged completely without single-use plastic.

What Drives Arani?

It was the middle of the pandemic when we realized how much plastic a household throws away from simple, daily consumption.

And the primary reason? Products are LIQUIDS.

From there started a long journey of finding alternative DRY formats - product by product

To create this range of 100% vegan, waterless and plastic-free essentials ❤️

WE TRULY BELIEVE THAT CONSUMER CHOICES WILL DRIVE THE BIGGEST CHANGES OUR WORLD NEEDS ❤️

Meet Our Founders

Co-founder, Dog worshipper (Wags at refill-ers)

GAURI GUPTA

A management graduate from the Indian School of Business Hyderabad, Gauri spent about 5 years as a Private Equity and Venture Capital investor focused on pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Though brought up in Delhi, she’d proudly tell you any day that being Chennai-born is her best trait! She trained as an accountant and slowly found her passion in the broader impact space – which culminated into a strong conviction to fight the growing waste around us. At Arani, her favorite part of the day is mulling over packaging materials and how weather impacts them!

On a break, you’re likely to find her talking to a dog who would rather be left alone, but oh well.

Co-founder, Cat-at-heart (Knocks plastic bottles off shelves)

SHIVRAJ NEGI

A management graduate from IIM Bangalore. Shivraj (better known as ‘Arbit’) has worked extensively across sales and distribution for consumer and financial products, with over 8 years of building teams, channels and processes. Born in the gorgeous hills of Uttarakhand, he studied Development Economics by the sea at IIT Madras and decided that detours make life awesome. He can research the world out of any topic and is an avid quizzer. At Arani, he insists on new product additions every quarter, no matter what!

When not passionately convincing people to reuse plastic, you’ll find him fantasizing how great life would’ve been – if he was a cat.
