To solve this problem, an Indian startup has been formed to turn waste flowers into perfumes, soaps and organic fertilizers.

HelpUsGreen is a start-up company with an initial capital of only 72,000 rupees (about 23 million VND) in 2015. The owner of this company is Ankit Agarwal and close friend Karan Rastogi.

Ankit Agarwal opened the company after quitting his job at Symantec cyber security company, which initially shocked his family.

However, this young Kanpur young man saw the Ganges poisoned by piles of flowers removed from the temples and wanted to help society solve this problem.

Until now, after 3 years of operation, HelpUsGreen Startup is very successful and plans to build two new factories this year to expand its operations. With two new factories, the company can handle 38 tons of cut flowers every day, becoming useful items.

In addition to business, HelpUsGreen is also a social enterprise when it helps Indian women get jobs. HelpUsGreen employs about 80 women at Kanpur campus and provides them with practical benefits such as savings, health insurance, transportation .

Currently, the company is in the process of developing the brand and its founders have decided to halve their product prices to attract customers' attention.
