Stories of Change | ft. Sahar Mansoor & Reva Jhingan Malik | CTC | EP 12 | Part 2

Code to Culture

Welcome to Code to Culture, a podcast by UnboxingBLR.
In this episode of Code to Culture with Malini Goyal, we welcome Sahar Mansoor, founder of Bare Necessities, a B Corp-certified zero-waste brand, and Reva Jhingan Malik of Primalise, who lives in an off-grid mud house powered by rainwater harvesting and solar cooking.
The conversation highlights a central tension in today’s cities: instant gratification versus conscious consumption. They talk about how instant delivery apps like Swiggy, Instamart, and Blinkit have changed how Bengaluru consumes. Quick convenience has replaced visits to local markets, but it has also led to overbuying, excess waste, and fading community spaces.
Sahar Mansoor talks about her journey with Bare Necessities. What began with reusable straws and homemade soaps has grown into a movement for zero-waste, mindful living, and a reimagination of everyday essentials.
Stay tuned for more conversations on zero-waste living, conscious choices, and the future of Bengaluru. Subscribe and join the journey.
