Hyperconsumerism & Sustainability | ft. Sahar Mansoor & Reva Jhingan Malik | CTC | EP 12 | Part 3

Code to Culture

Welcome to Code to Culture, a podcast by UnboxingBLR.
In this episode, we welcome Sahar Mansoor, founder of Bare Necessities, a B Corp-certified zero-waste brand, and Reva Jhingan Malik of Primalise.
They reflect upon what it means to live sustainably in today’s fast-paced, consumer-driven world. In this conversation, they talk about their journey of conscious living in Bengaluru, moving away from waste, excess, and anthropocentric thinking toward congruence, community, and mindful choices.
From adopting menstrual cups, using solar energy, and choosing metal over plastic, they share how small steps can create big changes for the planet, for health, and for the pocket. Drawing inspiration from indigenous communities and everyday practices, they show how sustainability is not about sacrifice, but about living in tune with nature, reducing stress, and finding joy in simplicity.
They also discuss the rise of sustainable startups in Bengaluru, the role of public spaces in building empathy, and the need to rethink “development” beyond GDP and consumption.
Stay tuned for more conversations on zero-waste living, conscious choices, and the future of Bengaluru. Subscribe and join the journey.
