The people running it day to day
A founder's story gets written about, but a business runs on the people who show up every day. Our plants, our US warehouses in Hayward and Baltimore, and the teams handling sourcing, quality, export documentation and customer support turn an order into a pallet delivered to your dock.
Srikanth Bolla, Founder
Born blind in a village in Andhra Pradesh, Srikanth was refused admission to study science in India because of his disability. He challenged that decision, studied abroad and returned home to build a manufacturing group rather than take a job at one.
Bollant Industries employs thousands of people across multiple plants. Women make up 70–80% of its workforce, and the company employs many differently-abled colleagues. Inclusion is not a separate programme; it is part of the company's approach to hiring.
Built by people the world overlooked, for a planet we all share.
The people who make it
1,000+ farmer partners
Farmers gather fallen sheaths and leaves and receive cash at the collection point, creating seasonal income in areas where opportunities between harvests are limited.
70–80% women workforce
Women work in pressing, finishing, inspection and packing. The majority of the people who make our products are women.
4,000+ livelihoods
Across the group, livelihoods are supported by turning materials that were once discarded or burned into products with commercial value.
