When Limaye Vijay cremated his father in 2010, one thought stayed with him.
He had never planted a tree in his life. Yet he had cut down trees to perform his father’s last rites.
That question led him on a years-long journey through religious texts, villages, and traditional practices in search of a more sustainable alternative.
The result was Mokshkasht – eco-friendly cremation logs made from agricultural waste that would otherwise be burned in fields.
Today, six major crematoriums use the model.
His innovation has helped save over 1 lakh trees from being cut down, reduced agricultural waste burning, created rural employment, and made one of India’s oldest rituals more sustainable.
