Ranjan Chopra,

Managing Director of Avataara. 

The resort is based on a Balinuous Goanen theme, offering an authentic experience that combines luxury with nature’s aesthetics. From the lush gardens to the tranquil pools and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, every corner of Avataara is designed to offer a rejuvenating experience. To accelerate the healing of the planet through regenerative restoration, ecotourism, and inclusive development. We believe that the time spent around natural elements is linked to lower levels of stress, improved immune function, and better mental health. At Avataara our customers can oxygenate & revive in an active vibrant ecosystem with all the luxuries that enhance the mood; combined with encounters that make you active participants in nature’s rebirth. 

Additionally, not only does Avataara boast a stunning tropical landscape, but it is also surrounded by 200-year-old trees. In keeping with its commitment to environmental conservation, the resort has opted not to cut down any of these trees during its redesign process, instead opting to plant additional trees in order to double the number of trees.

In other words, Avataara offers the joy of “experiencing” and becoming a rewilder in spirit as well as the Joy of “doing” contributing to nature’s regeneration. 

• As a part of our CSR drive Avataara recently donated a garbage van to the local municipalities for waste segregation at source and disposal. The van is equipped with hi-tech tools and technology for efficient waste management. It will help in the collection, segregation, transport, and disposal of solid waste materials. This initiative taken by our company will help to reduce environmental pollution.

• Avataara is the perfect destination for eco-conscious travelers. We are surrounded by lush tropical trees, and our construction and culinary practices are based on sustainable values with no use of plastics. The construction and designing process of the property has been carefully optimized for energy efficiency, and all of our materials are responsibly sourced with a focus on sustainability.All of the rooms have been designed with this in mind, meaning that plastic products such as straws, cutlery, and cups have been removed from the premises. The facility has also chosen to use reusable cups and dishes in the kitchen and dining areas, as well as other eco-friendly alternatives such as biodegradable soap, paper towels made from recycled materials, and energy-efficient resources.
  For instance: We even don’t use sugar or tea sachets, we rather prefer using them loosely.

• At our resort, we provide complementary mini bar set-ups for every room as a courtesy to our guests. One can always enjoy their favorite drinks and snacks in their space. Our mini-bar offers an array of beverages, nuts, candy, and chocolate bars as well as a selection of salty and sweet snacks. All items are of the highest quality and are kept in glass jars ensuring an enjoyable experience for our guests. 

• At Avataar, we prioritize organic fruits and vegetables, as they are free from harmful pesticides, contain higher levels of essential nutrients and minerals, and contain a lower amount of sugar when compared to conventionally grown produce. Our team sources organic produce from Tatva – our wellness resort and also locally sourced products that are grown responsibly.

Sipping Sustainability: Nothing Before Coffee’s Commitment to the Environment 

Once upon a cup, in a cosy city nook, stands our magical café, “Nothing Before Coffee.” It is a place  where the aroma of freshly brewed beans mingles with the sweet scent of environmental responsibility. 

In the heart of our cafe, a large chalkboard proudly displays a captivating quote that encapsulates our  ethos: “Sip sustainably, one cup at a time.” Our brand, Nothing Before Coffee, has a mission, not just to  satisfy coffee lovers’ cravings but also to protect the planet that nurtures us. 

We have bid farewell to single-use plastic, embracing a range of environmentally friendly alternatives.  Our paper cups adorned with our logo have replaced the plastic cups. These cups are not only recyclable  but also retain heat exceptionally well, allowing our customers to savor their beverages to the very last  sip. 

For those who prefer straws, we offer sturdy paper straws instead of their plastic counterparts. These  straws endure the length of a drink but break down naturally over time, leaving no harmful residues in  the environment. 

To complete the eco-friendly experience, we utilize paper bags to serve our delectable muffins, cookies,  and treats. These bags are not only biodegradable but also feature eye-catching designs, encouraging  our customers to reuse them or dispose of them responsibly. 

As we celebrate the milestone of serving more than 3 million cups every year, we take immense pride  in our contribution to sustainability. Each cup represents a conscious choice, a step towards a greener  future. 

So, as World Environment Day dawns, let us join in celebrating our brand, Nothing Before Coffee, where  flavors mingle with sustainability, and every sip brings us closer to a greener, brighter future.
