Help Us Green - Recycled Flowers Pioneer


Karan Rastogi of Help Us Green sent me four samples of recycled temple flower incense for review in 2025. When he wrote offering the samples, I responded that I was very interested in the use of recycled temple flowers in incense, and mentioned Phool as the pioneers. Karan  wrote back to clarify that he started Phool with Ankit Agarwal in 2017, but in 2019 Karan Rastogi and Ankit Agarwal split over disagreement over how to fund  Phool - Karan favouring organic growth, while Ankit favouring external funding. Both companies make incense by using recycled temple flowers as a replacement combustible, as well as exploring other uses for the flowers, such as for fertiliser and an eco-friendly styrofoam.  

Help Us Green are based in Kanpur along the banks of The Ganges.
