After the reclassification of bamboo as grass by the central government in 2017, bamboo was liberated from red tape. The bamboo sector in India is just four years old, marked by its infancy, baby steps, and challenges. The pioneers of the Bharat Bamboo Association are first-generation BambooPrenuers who took revolutionary steps using bamboo. Facing challenges from finding the right bamboo type to harvesting, manufacturing, marketing, and sales, we were self-motivated individuals striving separately. However, our individual fights and shared learning experiences led us to seek like-minded individuals. Patloba Patil, owner of Bamboomaha news, became the catalyst in our journey, bringing us together to form the Bharat Bamboo Association.
