Mamaearth Declared Cruelty-Free by PETA; Celebrates With a Meet-and-Greet With Ambassador Shilpa Shetty Kundra

November 1st| Mumbai: In a major boost to India’s ethical and sustainable cosmetics movement, toxin-free personal care brand Mamaearth has just been certified cruelty-free by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Founded in 2016, Mamaearth has established itself as one of the top toxin-free, all-natural personal care brands in India. Originally envisaged as a line of safe personal care products for babies, Mamaearth has since expanded to include a variety of unique and toxin-free products — from anti-mosquito roll-on to tan removal facewash to an onion hair mask.

The cruelty-free certification is validation from PETA that Mamaearth does not conduct or commission any animal tests — whether it’s on ingredients, formulations or finished products. The certification also implies that Mamaearth has pledged that they won’t indulge in these practices at any point in the future either. This certification is yet another milestone in Mamaearth’s journey of becoming a personal care brand with a difference — one that believes in creating ethical, sustainable products that provide long-term value for their customers.

Co-incidentally, Mamaearth is also hosting a meet-and-greet with brand ambassador Shilpa Shetty Kundra on 1st November at Novotel in Juhu, Mumbai. They will be announcing their PETA certification at the event. Not only that, but the winners of the FirstCry contest will also be awarded at this event and will get a chance to get up close and personal with Mamaearth brand ambassador and supermom Shilpa Shetty Kundra.

Shilpa Shetty Kundra has been so enamoured of Mamaearth products that not only did she decide to become a brand ambassador, but she has invested in the company as well. During the course of this event, Shilpa will spend some quality time with loyal Mamaearth customers; including a yoga session, round-table discussion, and even some selfie time!

The world today is becoming more focused on natural, sustainable products. In the midst of this global shift, t’s heartening to see that an Indian brand like Mamaearth has managed to carve a niche for itself in such a short time, that too in a crowded personal care market. The PETA cruelty-free certification will go a long way towards cementing Mamaearth’s positioning as a brand that is out to make a difference.

Market leader in AEPS (Aadhar enabled payment services) and holds the world’s largest assisted agent banking network with 7.5 lakh+ touchpoints

Mumbai, October 30, 2019: PayNearby, India’s fastest growing hyperlocal FinTech startup, has been awarded ‘The DigiDhan Mission FinTech Award’ for Promotion of Digital Payments 2018-19 by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. The award has been conferred as part of recognizing the company’s efforts towards building innovation in the Digital Payments Acceptance Infrastructure in Rural India.

The award was presented to Mr. Anand Kumar Bajaj Founder & CEO PayNearby by Mr. Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union Minister for Law and Justice, Electronics and IT.

PayNearby which owns the world’s largest assisted agent banking network has so far successfully digitized more than 7.5 lakh+ retail stores. The company’s mission to make ‘Har Dukaan Digital Pradhan’ is envisaged to empower the local retailer and create a thriving eco-system for the local community. PayNearby has successfully enabled Digital Pradhans to provide many essential services to their local communities, including Aadhaar banking, bank savings, insurance, access to government schemes and many more.

According to a report by NITI Aayog, India’s digital payments industry is estimated to grow to $1 Tn by 2023. According to the policy think tank, while 44% of urban customers have taken up digital payment channels, rural customers are a distant second, at only 16%.

The company is digitally empowering local shopkeepers and allowing customers to be privy to a host of financial and non-financial services in the first mile. It facilitates multiple technologically-advanced payment methods that can boost India’s progression towards becoming a cashless economy.

The company is ceaselessly adding on to its touchpoints thus creating a penetrative digital ecosystem across the country inclusive of tier I, II and rural towns. A deeply entrenched network has helped the company enjoy a niche thereby offering over-the-top banking services to the bottom of the pyramid.

Commenting on the win, Mr. Bajaj said, “We are deeply honored to receive the illustrious ‘DigiDhan Mission FinTech Award for Promotion of Digital Payments’ for our work in rural India. While digital payments are expected to grow by leaps and bounds, there is still a significant proportion of the population in rural India that is yet to jump on the bandwagon. This recognition encourages us further to work aggressively towards the country’s vision for financial inclusion and a less-cash economy. Powered by multiple offerings and ease of user interface PayNearby is completely focused on transforming the trusted Kirana store in your vicinity into a one-stop destination for all your financial services thereby helping the respective communities to evolve.”
