- Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group, applauds Gro Club, a startup offering bicycle-subscription service for children.
- Gro Club aims to address the issue of bicycle wastage by providing a sustainable and affordable solution.
- The subscription service offers a wide range of bicycles for different age groups and utilizes a regeneration process for returned bikes.
Anand Mahindra, renowned for his business acumen and social consciousness, recently took to Twitter to showcase his support for Gro Club, an innovative startup revolutionizing children’s biking experiences. The company’s bicycle-subscription service, as highlighted by Mahindra, offers a sustainable solution to the issue of bicycle wastage, particularly concerning children who quickly outgrow their bikes.
Gro Club’s model, founded by two fathers who identified the need for a more sustainable approach to children’s bicycles, introduces a subscription service priced at a modest Rs 250 per month. This affordable option not only provides access to a wide range of bicycles suitable for various age groups but also ensures that old bikes are not discarded wastefully. Instead, Gro Club implements a regeneration process, reusing bike frames to create new ones, thus promoting environmental sustainability.
The commendation from Anand Mahindra underscores the significance of innovative solutions like Gro Club in addressing environmental concerns while offering practical and affordable options for families. With India’s status as a major bicycle manufacturer, initiatives like these contribute positively to both the economy and the environment, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
Very often, a good business idea is a meeting of the heart & the head.
I applaud these entrepreneurs.
One startup at a time, the planet will heal…
