The Challenge

Rassaa is a forest-first enterprise enabling tribal women in Odisha and Jharkhand to earn a stable income by hand-stitching siali leaves into biodegradable plates. The environmental upside was clear. The social impact was real. But the narrative was fragmented.

To scale institutional outreach and unlock CSR partnerships, Rassaa needed:

  • A brand identity rooted in lived experience, not craft clichés
  • A cohesive story that could travel across brochures, booths, and boardrooms
  • High-trust explainer assets that didn’t rely on jargon or abstract claims

The challenge was about making the leap from a powerful story to a credible solution.

Our Approach

We began with what the women told us: “Our survival is tied to the forest’s survival.” That reciprocity became the spine of the brand. We framed Rassaa not as a sustainable product company, but as a value-chain intervention where every plate links livelihood, ecosystem, and conscious consumption.

Execution Highlights

1. Brand Identity & Narrative Architecture

  • Developed a symbolic identity anchored in the siali vine, reflecting the core principle of interdependence between tribal livelihoods and forest ecology.
  • Built the #TiedTogether narrative as a unifying thread across all brand assets (reinforcing the loop between livelihood, environment, and conscious consumption)
  • Crafted a logo and visual system designed for clarity across digital, print, and product formats.

2. Website & Conversion Ecosystem

  • Launched a one-scroll, narrative-first website tailored for CSR and procurement decision-makers.
  •  Structured content around impact metrics, traceability, and founder vision.

3. Film Production & Deployment 

  • Produced 2 primary films to document the on-ground process to build traceability and authenticity. We focused on founder-led narrative explaining mission, model, and scale vision
  • Positioned the films as pitch-ready openers across outreach emails, grant applications, and events.

4. Commercial-Grade Visual & Print Assets

  • Delivered clean, food-service-ready product photography for use across platforms
  • Designed a brochure blending brand story, product specs, and procurement logic
