About Asrkari

Asrkari (from Indian for ‘community-orientated’ and ‘effective’ - pronounced asserkari) is a green and social enterprise. We are solidarity-driven and community-oriented, which means that all our profits are transparently reinvested into company projects. More than just an organization, Asrkari is a global movement and a growing story shaped by people from all over the world.

Join the Movement

Through the Asrkari app, people can buy and sell secondhand fashion, giving clothes a second chance while choosing how much of their earnings go to organizations dedicated to fighting fast fashion and promoting sustainability. Everyone contributes in their own way, whether through time, energy, or intention, and becomes part of a community-powered force for change.

Our Vision

At the heart of Asrkari is the belief that none of us alone can do what all of us together can achieve. Our vision is to co-create a sustainable and peaceful future through small actions that have a big impact. Together, we strive to make fashion more responsible, raise awareness, and drive positive change.

Rewriting the Story of Our Clothing: Our Journey

The journey of creating a more just, sustainable, and transparent world through our clothing didn't begin in a lab or boardroom. It began in the cotton fields and weaving communities of India - where every thread told a story of struggle, resilience, and hope.

2017: Listening to the Roots

The journey of creating a more just, sustainable, and transparent world through our clothing didn't begin in a lab or boardroom.

2018: Searching for Meaningful Change

Moved by these experiences, we began a year-long journey of deep research, seeking answers about ethics, respect, and transparency.

2019: Realizing the Power of the Consumer

The research made one thing clear: change must be driven by consumers who can see the faces behind their clothes.

2020: Sowing Seeds of Awareness in Germany

We began our awareness efforts in Germany, opening space for conversations on how clothing choices impact people and planet.

2021: Educating the Next Generation

We launched school-based educational projects to help children and youth understand the ecological and social footprint of their clothes.

2021: Designing a Holistic Vision

It wasn't enough to raise awareness. We began shaping a full ecosystem approach addressing both environmental and social dimensions.

2022: Prototyping Interventions

From fair materials to campaigns and collaborations, we designed interventions to connect ethical producers and conscious consumers.

2023: Birth of the 3E Model - Educate, Engage, Evolve

We brought our insights together into a circular model to drive transformation across all levels of the clothing ecosystem.

2024: Building the Foundation

We formalized our efforts with legal entities and stronger strategy, turning vision into real structures and implementation capacity.

2025: Going Live

This year, the solution goes live. What started as an observation has grown into a living ecosystem movement.
