Founded in January 2009, by Nidhi Singh & Gaurav Gupta, Indigreen is a fusion of art, high fashion, eco friendly values, fair trade ethics and a heavy dose of Bollywood & Indian Pop Art. The art is hand painted by former Bollywood poster painters who lost out on work after Bollywood advertising went digital. This concoction of green values, art and social messages incorporated in the Indigreen design makes it a unique, ‘communicative’ high fashion brand.
With concepts like 100% Indian ‘Luxury Pret Organic Tee, Organic Accessories, Home Art Décor and Stationery; Indigreen has created a buzz in the fashion, environment and art circles for its contribution in social and sustainable ethics. Indigreen takes pride in having received the Green Heroes Award at the National Geographic Green Conclave and being shortlisted as a finalist for the Young Creative Entrepreneurs Award by the British Council in October 2010, only a year after its launch.
