Our Operations

At IŚVARA, our operations are guided by a commitment to ethical practices, sustainability, and a deep respect for the environment and communities we work with. From the sourcing of raw materials to the crafting of each product, every step of our process is rooted in responsibility, transparency, and care.

Our journey begins with the careful collection of discarded flowers from temples and other local sources. Instead of allowing these flowers to pollute rivers and landfills, we give them a second life, transforming them into our signature incense sticks. By rescuing these natural materials, we not only reduce waste but also preserve the beauty of nature.

Each IŚVARA incense stick is handcrafted with precision and love by local artisans. We honor the ancient Indian traditions of incense making, ensuring that every product reflects the time-honored techniques passed down through generations. This artisanal approach allows us to maintain the highest standards of quality while preserving cultural heritage.

Our operations extend beyond production to empower the communities involved. We partner with rural artisans, women in underprivileged areas, and female prisoners through our initiative, Project Zariya. By providing fair wages and meaningful employment, we help uplift these individuals, giving them the tools to support their families and improve their livelihoods. Our partnerships are built on respect, fairness, and a shared goal of creating sustainable economic growth.

We take pride in using environmentally friendly processes in every aspect of our manufacturing. From recycling flower waste to using natural ingredients free from toxins and harmful chemicals, our production methods are designed to minimize environmental impact. We also prioritize sustainable packaging, ensuring that our products are delivered in eco-friendly, recyclable materials that reflect our respect for the planet.

Though we have a growing global presence, our roots remain deeply connected to the local communities we support. Our incense sticks are distributed worldwide, yet every product carries the essence of the local hands that crafted it. We are committed to balancing global expansion with local impact, ensuring that as we grow, the communities and ecosystems we work with continue to thrive.
