OUR STORY
Our Journey
On March 21st, 2019, in the vibrant city of Chennai, the seeds of "Friendcils" were sown. That day marked the beginning of our passionate journey, where sustainability met creativity. Welcome to "Friendcils," where we believe that every small step towards an eco-friendly world, matters.
Our Roots in Chennai
Our story begins amidst the rich culture and diverse landscapes of Chennai. The warm embrace of the Bay of Bengal, the lush greenery of the Eastern Ghats, and the spirit of this bustling metropolis were the inspirations that ignited our passion for eco-friendliness. We knew that it was our duty to protect this remarkable planet for generations to come.
The Turning Point
It all began with a simple idea – eco-friendly pencils made from recycled paper. As we embarked on this venture, we encountered a burst of creativity that was as inspiring as it was unexpected. It was during a lively family brainstorming session that my daughter, Samara with her boundless imagination, coined a term that would become synonymous with our brand - "Friendcils." A portmanteau of "eco-friendly" and "pencils," it captured the essence of what we wanted to achieve: creating products that are both environmentally conscious and friendly to our planet.
World Forestry Day
It's no coincidence that our journey began on March 21st. It's also known as World Forestry Day, a day dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness about the importance of forests and trees. This day symbolizes our commitment to nurturing the environment, just as forests do.
The Birth of "Friendcils"
From that moment on, our journey took flight. We started with Friendcils, but our vision expanded far beyond. We searched far and wide to curate a selection of products that were not only eco-friendly but also stylish, functional, and affordable. We wanted to prove that making sustainable choices doesn't mean sacrificing quality or aesthetics.
