Zishta is derived from the Sanskrit word “Sishta” (ziSTa) which means tradition, knowledge for betterment of society
The first step in the Zishta journey is to understand the ways of life of our ancestors to glean insights on what it takes to lead a sustainable life
Each community we reached out to, let us into their rituals and beliefs and we found practical and still relevant solutions to bring back to you
This journey is about critically examining every aspect of our living and learning from our past to live more sustainably today
For Zishta, it is as much about the artisan as it is about the art form of crafting these traditional products. We believe that by making our lives more sustainable, we help communities sustain themselves.
Since our small team is from the south of India, we began our journey from here. What we would love to do is to explore and expand our breadth of understanding to other parts of India as well. So, please do share your thoughts and we would love to begin our next journey.
