    The Better Home onboards Dia Mirza as brand ambassador

    NEW DELHI: India’s first brand of subscription eco-friendly home cleaners, The Better Home, has partnered with Bollywood actor, UN Environment Goodwill ambassador, UN Secretary General’s SDGs advocate, and Wildlife Trust of India ambassador Dia Mirza as brand ambassador for their range of eco-friendly home care products that are better for our loved ones, homes and our planet.

    Known for her strong stance on protecting our environment and wildlife and, of course, her million-dollar smile, Dia has announced her brand partnership with The Better Home’s range of subscription home care products (naturally derived floor cleaner, toilet cleaner, laundry liquid and dishwash). These cleaners are built on the belief built on the belief that you should not have to choose between what's effective, what's good for you, and what's good for the planet. Urban Indian households release 21.6 billion litres of water contaminated with harsh chemical cleaners down the drain every single day! These cleaners emit toxic fumes that are harmful to the health of all those who come into contact with them. The brand & Dia’s vision is to enable and empower the community to make that switch to eco-friendly products that are better for their homes and their health.

    “I am delighted to partner with a brand that resonates with my value system. As cleanliness and hygiene have come to occupy a significant part of our lives in the new post COVID world, it becomes crucial to make conscious choices, to ensure that we take care of the health of our families, communities as well as the planet. I absolutely love their cleaners, sustainable quirky packaging and the exclusive online community you get to be a part of once you subscribe – In fact, I used their products for months before they approached me for a partnership. What’s even better is that you just have to subscribe to it once and forget about it and it will show up at your doorstep every month on the same day!” said Mirza, who has been brought on board as the brand ambassador, “It’s amazing to see that they’ve truly gone out of their way to make our planet better – Their subscription kits come with reusable bottles followed by refill pouches with minimal packaging for which they run a take back program. They take back all waste they generate to recycle it responsibly for us- which effectively means no plastic from The Better Home ends up in our landfills or natural ecosystem – how thoughtful is that!”

    The Better India and The Better Home CEO Dhimant Parekh said, “Dia personifies our philosophy of wanting to leave our planet and its people better than we found it and we are glad to have someone so passionate about health and the environment to be our voice. As a brand, the core of what we do is large scale impact, and we wanted to help our customers get access to natural, sustainable products without compromising on convenience and efficacy. We are thrilled to have Dia with us on this journey – she is someone we truly admire for her contribution in bringing awareness to our cause.”

  • Merck & Better India support India’s true heroes

    MUMBAI: Being forced to back out of school at the age of 7, he had a clear mission; no other child should be deprived the power of education. From begging on the streets of Kolkata to now being the man responsible for the free education of over 425 underprivileged children in West Bengal, the story of Gazi Jalaludin is what true heroes are made of.

    Kick-starting its #HelpingTrueHeroes initiative, Neurobion Forte (a vitamin brand from Merck) and The Better India (a tech-media platform), have come together to recognize the undying spirit of Jalaludin and felicitate him as one of India’s `True Heroes.’

    Merck India MD Anand Nambiar said, “This campaign aims to recognize the undying spirit of India’s lesser known heroes such as Jalaludin, who while fulfilling the dreams of their families, are also extending a helping hand to the society. I would urge everyone to support us in acknowledging and celebrating the efforts of Jalaludin and other real-life heroes and help spread the stories of their selfless work with the world. We thank The Better India team for partnering with Neurobion in recognising, supporting and helping India’s True Heroes.”

    Jalaludin says, “This 40 year journey has not only been challenging, but also very rewarding. My unknown taxi passengers and generous donors have helped me bring alive my dream of a world where no Gazi has to stop going to school anymore. There’s still a long way to go. Even today I struggle to give mid-day meals to the children and salaries to the teachers. Recognition and endorsement from Merck’s Neurobion Forte & The Better India will help spread more awareness about this cause.”

    Says Better India CEO Dhimant Parekh, “We are excited to partner with Merck to showcase the stories of True Heroes. Filming these stories has been a great experience and we are sure the audience will only be left inspired.”
