HimGra, an eco-friendly fiber innovation by Dev Ethical Sustainable Crafts and Textiles, Uttarakhand (DESCATUK), has been invited to present at Startup Mahakumbh 2025, India’s largest startup event, from April 3-5 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Organized by FICCI and DPIIT, the event marks a major milestone for HimGra, a zero-cultivation carbon footprint fiber recognized for its sustainable impact.
Known for its patent-applied, waterless mechanical fiber extraction, HimGra has gained validation from IIT Mandi Catalyst, Fashion for Good, and global brands. It also won the Hindu Kush Himalaya Innovation Challenge for Entrepreneurship, further solidifying its credibility.
At Startup Mahakumbh 2025, HimGra will showcase its latest fiber, yarns, and luxury fabrics for apparel, home textiles, knits, and denim. The event will also mark the launch of its commercial cultivation, led by Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in Uttarakhand, promoting sustainable livelihoods and climate resilience.
“We are honored to be part of Startup Mahakumbh 2025. HimGra is more than an innovation it’s a movement for ethical, sustainable fashion. This platform will help us connect with industry leaders, investors, and policymakers to scale our impact and drive meaningful change in textiles,” said K D Sharma, Co-Founder and Director of DESCATUK.
With its presence at the event, HimGra aims to revolutionize the textile industry by advancing sustainable practices and empowering rural communities.
