How did Greensole commence its working?

  • They began to put shoe donation bins in colleges and schools and enlisted the aid of running organizations. 
  • They were able to establish a production facility for their recycled shoes with the aid of financial gifts, first from friends and family and subsequently from business partners.

How can you contribute?

Donate the shoes which are out of use! You can send your shoes by courier to the respective address. Although Greensole welcomes shoes in any size, they do ask that you not give them any that have heels. As an alternative, you can purchase a pair of shoes from Greensole online.

Despite how trite it may sound, Greensole shows that all it takes is one person, one good idea and a lot of will power to make a difference for others. “Observe” is what Shriyans suggests. And considering small issues and solutions is the best we can do. We must all return to our individual issues, work to resolve them, and then scale the solution such that it works for everyone.

Do You Know About The Secret Temples Instagram Startup from Udaipur

Temples are one such heavenly places where each one is ready to bow to their gods and make their promises ever lasting!

History in itself is a deep rooted word and lesser do we know that somewhere its core root resides in our country and our culture too. It’s a world of speed that we live in. Who wants to slow down? Maybe no one but we all should stop for once and give a glance at what history and stature we possess.

As you all know India is known for its wide cultural, tradition, and oldest civilizations. The temples here are primeval and here’s a youngster from Udaipur, Priyesh Jain who’s keen interest in archaeological sites, exploring different places and temples has resulted into Secret Temples. In the world of modernization, Secret Temples have taken an initiative to keep us rooted with faith and tradition.

About Secret Temples: 

  • The main aim of Secret Temples is to introduce the mysterious and beautiful history of many temples around the world.
  • It aims to educate youngsters and the coming generation to be aware of various traditions and cultures around the world.
  • It also provides information on a variety of the world’s religions.
  • Secret Temples gives details on various religions’ values, teachings, lifestyle, architectural details & many more. 

Achievements of Secret Temples

  • Secret Temples crossed 258k followers just within a short span of 11 months on Instagram and became India’s only leading culture startup to achieve this benchmark, that too organically, without any paid promotion.
  • Recently they have received gifts from Sadhguru (Isha Foundation) on Mahashivratri.
  • A few days ago Isha Foundation sent them a copy of Sadhguru’s latest book “Karma: A Yogi’s Guide to Crafting Your Destiny”
  • One of their posts was featured on Zostel’s official Instagram handle.
  • Secret Temples was featured on Travel+Leisure India and Tripoto.
  • They were featured on some of the digital media platforms too.

About the founder 

Priyesh Jain is the founder of Secret Temples. The concept of starting this startup is to create a connecting link between the youth and the long-forgotten traditional history of the world. His ultimate goal is to create a place where you can find answers to almost all the questions related to historic and mysterious temples. 

He started Secret Temples on 1st of July 2020. He is  originally a resident of Kun village in Rajasthan. When he was in his village during the lock-down last year, he visited a place called Balicha. Near that place there was a 1000 years old Jain temple, also known as Balicha Jain temple. After visiting the temple, he found that an ancient and wonderful temple presenting Indian culture is in dilapidated condition today due to lack of proper maintenance and also because people do not know about this temple. So he thought that, in the absence of information, a priceless heritage should not be lost like this, and not only this, there must be many more such valuable, incomparable heritage which people (especially the youth) are deprived of today and will be deprived even further.

While searching for a solution to this problem, he got the inspiration that why not make these implicit, invisible cultures accessible to every youth with “Secret Temples”. When he started this startup he realized this is where his heart belongs, in the midst of secrets of temples.

Coming along with cultures and secrets of our temples we have been through an amazing exploration journey with Secret Temples, where from providing youth a message to preserve our heritage to acknowledging the world about the hidden amusements, the startup has made our history enliven; for us and for generations to come. 

Secret Temples is one such place where the hidden gems are embellished and by this it means that it addresses to one of the most grown history that is being focused here!
