The Making of Vanaja Organics
With rise in social awareness and willingness to help the needy and underprivileged, a large number of NGOs have come to life in the current world scenario. Vanaja Organics is one such venture of Prodigee Foundation, an NGO founded by Vandana Chhabra, S. Natraj and M. Kishan. The NGO aims at creating opportunities of dignified living for underprivileged women of the society by imparting vocational training. The key focus of the NGO is primarily on:
- Helping the ones in need by providing employment
- Supporting the society by providing fine quality organic food products at reasonable prices
The NGO is run by a bunch of ‘heartrepreuners’ who work towards the wellness of the farmers, consumers and the planet. Vandana (fashion designer) quit her job and paved their path to make a noticeable transform in the society. Hence, the NGO came up with a dream called Vanaja Organics.

Challenges Vanaja Organics Faced
The founders were not 100% satisfied with their efforts vis-à-vis results achieved by their Vocational training programs. The dissatisfaction was caused because the teachers were not able to earn steady money from those skills. Soon, during a market study, they found out a shocking reality: most of the product consumed as food contain chemicals and are dangerous to health. Today, urban crowd loves to be healthy, fit and eat right quality foods!
This study struck a chord. Vandana and her team decided to divert their focus on this segment by producing organic food products. They employed the urban poor women in Vanaja Organic Processing Facility. The techniques used are age-old traditional one (hand chakki, etc) which are labor intensive rather than machine intensive, thus leading to employment generation.

How PayU Helped Vanaja Organics Collect Payments Easily
“High price” is associated with “organic”. It is natural that if huge manpower is needed to cultivate good quality food, price is bound to be on a bit higher scale. Vanaja Organics, already had so much on their plate to handle manually, they didn’t want the same efforts to be put in payment collection as well. Thus, after building up a beautiful website they decided to integrate with a super easy and convenient to use payment gateway. PayU being India’s best payment gateway is the ultimate choice of all businesses in the country, Vanaja Organics being one of them!
