How these three cousin brothers from manufacturing stainless steel sheets background built a Rs 17 Crore D2C startup

The importance of leading a healthy lifestyle cannot be emphasized enough. People are becoming more aware of the negative impact that chemicals and toxins can have on their well-being and are looking for alternatives that are natural, organic and sustainable. This is where The Nature's Palette (TNP) comes in.

What is ‘The Nature's Palette’?

The Nature's Palette is a platform that aims to bring natural, organic and sustainable everyday products to the doorstep of its customers. Founded in August 2020, it has already served more than 7,500 customers in Gujarat, processed 24,000 orders and has a retention rate of 45%.

The mission of The Nature's Palette is to make quality organic, natural and sustainable products accessible to all and to promote a healthy lifestyle. The platform aims to be a top retail and wholesale business for quality organic, natural and sustainable consumer products.

The Inception

The platform was conceived by three second-generation entrepreneurs, the Jinnoni brothers, who were originally involved in manufacturing stainless steel sheets for more than 30 years. Growing up in a Jain family, the brothers were taught the ways of life in Jainism, which emphasizes non-violence as the highest moral virtue. This philosophy, known as Ahimsa Paramo Dharma, is ingrained in the traditional upbringing of Jain families, and the Jinnoni brothers were no exception. They were pulled towards organic, natural and sustainable products as a reflection of their values, and The Nature's Palette was born.

The Founders

Nirmeet, Arpit & Kanishk are the three Jinnoni brothers who laid the early foundations of The Nature's Palette.

Nirmeet, the oldest of the three brothers, brings more than 15 years of business expertise to the TNP team. He holds an MBA from Nirma University with a specialization in the family business. The operations, sales, and supply chain are handled by Nirmeet.

Arpit is a CA by education and holds an MBA from SP Jain Global Management with a specialization in investment banking. He looks after finance, accounting and marketing.

Kanishk is the youngest of all three founders. He holds a B.Tech in IT from NMIMS and MBA from SP Jain Global Management with a specialization in the family business. Kanish handles IT, marketing and innovation.
