EARTHENS
From India to the world: Premium Areca Palm Leaf dinnerware, exported by Engee Incorporated.

At Earthens, we design, customize, and craft elegant palm leaf dinnerware made from naturally fallen Areca palm leaves. Each plate and bowl is 100 % natural—no pulp, no starch, no chemicals—just a washed, heat-pressed leaf shaped into durable, biodegradable single-use tableware that’s stylish, sturdy, and planet-friendly.

Our Journey
The seed was planted in 2012 when siblings-in-law Ashima and Nilesh were inspired by India’s timeless village traditions: meals served on leaf plates, cool well water, and life close to nature. A business trip to South India revealed handcrafted palm-leaf bowls, sparking the dream to bring this heritage to the modern table.

Soon after, Nilesh’s brother Ashish and his wife Deepti joined the small family enterprise, adding fresh energy and expertise. Together they launched a dedicated manufacturing facility in Tumkur, Karnataka, in 2016, giving Earthens the scale and consistency needed to serve eco-conscious markets worldwide.

People & Purpose
Our Tumkur unit now employs 48 skilled women from surrounding villages, whose craftsmanship and steady income are central to our mission. By providing sustainable livelihoods, we help rural families thrive while reducing global single-use plastic waste.
