"A Heartwarming Tale: The Story That Captivated Our Hearts"
Meet the Plastic-Free Warriors: Cigniti’s Manikanta Gujju and Suri Babu, the Mischievous Coconut Seller!”
Meet Manikanta Gujju, Senior Executive in Marketing at Cigniti, whose heartfelt initiative to support plastic reduction has won our hearts. His passion for sustainability has inspired us all.
“I have known Suri Babu, the mischievous coconut seller, for years. Every time I visit his stall, I am greeted with his playful smile as he hands me a fresh coconut. Instead of using a plastic straw, he encourages me to enjoy the coconut water directly from the fruit, showing his commitment to a plastic-free environment.
This encounter sparked my curiosity, leading me to delve deeper into the issue. I discovered that plastic straws are the 8th most common form of ocean trash, wreaking havoc on marine life and taking centuries to decompose.
I am grateful to Cigniti Technologies for their great zero-plastic challenge. This initiative has reignited my awareness and reminded me of the small yet significant inspirations driving me on my sustainability journey”.
