Grosche’s latest innovation is the Oasis infusion bottle, which allows the consumer to see the family that their purchase has provided safe water to. The Oasis infusion bottle provides the buyer with a code that when entered online connects them with the people whose lives they have affected for the better. The product itself acts as a conduit that connects the consumer with the good they have done through purchasing this product. Many companies have give-back programs, but with the Oasis infusion bottle, you are given the chance to see how you are giving back to the world.
In addition, the Oasis campaign to give safe water allows the customer to give additional days of safe water by simply sharing a picture of the bottle through Instagram or Facebook using #MyoasisGivesWater. Every time the customer shares a photo, GROSCHE will record that and add one more day of safe water for someone in need on their behalf. This innovative way of allowing the customer to help someone by doing something as simple as sharing an image is a unique way to connect people with the change they make.

According to Sujata, "Twirl encourages everyone to bring out the unwanted clothes from their wardrobes and send them to Twirl. In fact, Twirl.store even provides a free home-pickup from your home or office. Twirl rewards them with points which they can redeem to buy new products. And with all the old clothing that Twirl receives, Twirl either donates it to the needy or upcycles it as a fabric to make new wonders. This process of upcycling which is basically reusing a good part of an unwanted product, is done by women- predominantly rural women- thus giving them a source of livelihood.
"Upcycled products are by their very nature, more environment-friendly too as natural resources like water are significantly conserved. These upcycled products are in the range of bags, home decor, clothing, office essentials and travel accessories. All these products get sold on e-commerce site www.twirl.store and through other retail modes.
"Twirl.store also works in collaboration with organisations/institutions for their bulk requirements, thereby ensuring more demand for upcycled products and more work for women manufacturers.
"The Twirl initiative benefits both society and environment and can change the way India looks at retail."
