A startup from Kerala, Bio-Aryavedic Naturals, has introduced an eco-friendly alternative to traditional starching methods. The company has launched a fabric stiffening spray made from tapioca.
Named, ‘Albedon fabric ironing stiffener spray,’ this product is easy to use during ironing. It not only makes clothes stiff but also adds shine, making them last longer, and keeping them cleaner.
Vineetha AK and Arun Bhaskar, Founders, emphasize, the spray can absorb greenhouse gases and turn them into oxygen, which helps clean the surrounding air
Albedon has been tested at the Central Government’s Textile Testing Laboratory besides undergoing clinical evaluations at the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology in Thiruvananthapuram. The company also received support and funding from the Kerala Startup Mission.
Bio-Aryavedic Naturals was among the top five startups at the Naaripreneur for Her program by IIM Visakhapatnam, beating out 155 other startups from 24 states. They've also been recognized by NBCC India and were chosen by IIT Madras to showcase their innovation at the Bharat Tex 2025 Global Textile Event in New Delhi.
