THENGA
THENGA/????? means coconut in Malayalam, a South Indian Language. Thenga was founded by Maria Kuriakose, in August 2019. She was originally from Kerala, but migrated to Mumbai for higher studies and work. As she was working there, she felt the urge to return to her home-town and start a business that supports the agricultural sector of Kerala. She decided to zero-in on coconuts as that was the main agricultural crop in Kerala and the state was named after coconuts! Kera means coconuts, and Kerala is the land of coconuts. � After researching on different coconut products, she realized that coconut shell was being considered waste and was usually burnt as fuel. Traditionally in Kerala cooking utensils were made from coconut shells, and she wanted to revive the practice and also develop more products with coconut shells. Thus was born 'Thenga' a brand for home and kitchen essentials solely made from coconut shells. From our humble beginning in 2019, by 2021 we have sold over 24,000 coconut shell products supporting local artisans and saving thousands of coconut shells from being discarded in the landfill. � Made Solely from Coconut Shell and Coconut Wood. All our tableware products - 3 sizes of bowls, cups, cutlery, candle, serving spoon and spatula are made exclusively with coconut shell and coconut wood alone. Coconut by-products are strong, durable and all natural.
