Bengaluru-based startup Aecoz, founded in 2019 by Dhanvita Sathyanand, Srinidhi Rajaram, and Bharath Sathyanand, offers biodegradable packaging solutions as an eco-friendly alternative to plastic. Despite initial challenges like market resistance and funding issues, the bootstrapped company is expanding globally, driving sustainable change in food packaging.
