About Us

Distinctive Action Starts From Nature

We are Vaishnavi and Shailaja Bangaru, sisters and co-founders of Rare and Authentic Extracts LLP. Inspired by the quiet strength and dedication of our mother, Ramadevi, our journey began not on a mountain trail, but from a simple moment of concern witnessed right from our balcony — seeing animals unknowingly consuming plastic waste.

That moment sparked a mission: to create a sustainable, biodegradable alternative to single-use plastic that dissolves harmlessly and quickly, protecting animals, nature, and our planet. We call it our distinctive action — turning awareness into innovation.

Our plant-based, water-soluble films are more than packaging; they are a promise to nature and a call to brands and individuals alike to rethink convenience. Join us as we build a cleaner, safer, and more responsible future, one dissolving sheet at a time.

Our Distinctive Mission & Vision

Inspire for Change

At Rare and Authentic Extracts LLP, we believe that creating innovative solutions is only the beginning. Equally vital is educating and inspiring individuals, brands, and industries to embrace sustainability and rethink their choices. Our plant-based, water-soluble films are more than products — they’re catalysts for a global shift toward responsible packaging and environmental stewardship.

Since our inception, we’ve actively engaged with communities, businesses, and changemakers through storytelling, workshops, and collaborations, spreading awareness and encouraging action. Even in challenging times, our commitment never wavered — we harnessed every opportunity to connect and inspire, from panel discussions to sustainability campaigns.

Our impact is growing, one conversation and partnership at a time. Together, we’re turning the dream of a zero-waste future into a reality — proving that small changes, multiplied, create powerful ripples of transformation.

Little Change Counts

As we witness the growing impact of plastic pollution on our environment—whether it’s animals suffering from ingesting waste or ecosystems overwhelmed by discarded packaging—we’re reminded that every action matters. Imagine if our own homes and neighborhoods were treated with such disregard. It wouldn’t feel right, and neither does the damage we’re seeing in nature.

At Rare and Authentic Extracts, we believe that meaningful change starts with small, consistent steps. Beyond innovating safer, plant-based packaging, we actively encourage and support community efforts to reduce plastic waste. Since our founding, hundreds of conscious individuals, businesses, and partners have joined us in this mission—each switch from plastic to biodegradable film adding up to a collective victory for the planet.

Change isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. Every thoughtful choice, every packet replaced, and every community cleanup moves us closer to a cleaner, healthier world. Together, even the smallest acts ripple into lasting impact.
