Our History
The air we breathe, the water we cherish, the earth we stand on, everything around us is a story of balance and connection. At BreatheBlue, we believe in protecting that delicate harmony.
Registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act of 2013, BreatheBlue India Foundation is a purpose driven organisation committed to fostering sustainable change.
​​It all started in 2019 with a simple yet impactful vision, eliminating single use plastics. Our founder, Lakshika Khurana, a dreamer with a pragmatic approach, initiated BreatheBlue with a student-led campaign that gathered over 400 signatures advocating for an end to single-use plastics.
What began as a grassroots movement soon expanded, inspiring 17 local businesses and numerous schools to take a stand against plastic waste.
​​By 2022, BreatheBlue had evolved into something bigger. A dedicated team of planners, managers, photographers, and videographers came together to create the BreatheBlue Youth Summit, a platform where young minds engage in discussions on how the fundamental Greek Elements can shape a sustainable, climate conscious future. Over the years, we have successfully hosted three youth summits annually, with last year’s event seeing double the number of registrants from the previous year.
Our summits are designed for young changemakers aged 13-20, focusing on igniting their curiosity and passion for the environment. Within these discussions, we host an ‘Art O Environment’ session, an intimate moment where students write heartfelt postcards to their favourite element, expressing their hopes and dreams for a greener planet.
These postcards, crafted using wooden pencils and recyclable paper, are preserved and showcased at the next year’s summit, allowing participants to reflect on their journey, witness their own growth, and be inspired by their evolving perspectives.
​​Our inaugural summit saw over 35 passionate participants, and since then, each event has sparked deeper discussions, greater inspiration, and tangible change. The seeds of action we plant today will grow into the forests of tomorrow, and the voices of the youth will shape the sustainable future we all dream of.
​
BreatheBlue is not just an initiative, it is a revolution, a movement of hearts and minds coming together to protect our shared home. Let’s breathe, let’s dream, and let’s build a bluer, greener world together.
