I’m Hari Murali, an MBA student with a vision to build a truly sustainable brand.one that goes beyond profit and contributes to both the economy and community. While studying business, I realized I wanted to create something meaningful on my own  something that gives back to the planet and people. Growing up in Kerala, I’ve always admired how our ancestors used coconut shells and fibres to make everyday household products. When I explored this traditional craft further, I discovered that many exceptionally skilled artisans were now unemployed or working in unrelated, low-paying jobs due to lack of orders and fair recognition. Seeing this decline in craftsmanship deeply moved me. That’s when the idea of Souled Coconut & Fibres was born a brand that aims to revive traditional coconut artistry, empower local artisans, and promote eco-friendly alternatives to replace plastic and non-biodegradable materials. From the shell to the leaf and stem, every part of the coconut tree  the Tree of Life has the potential to inspire sustainable innovation. Through this venture, I hope to build a bridge between heritage and modern sustainability, giving artisans a livelihood and the world a greener choice.
