The new episode of ‘Shark Tank India’ season 3 witnessed a unique pitch by ‘Golden Feathers’, which create textile products from up-cycled chicken waste. The team of ‘Golden Feathers’, Radhesh Agrahari, Muskan Sainik and Abhishek Verma, who hail from Jaipur, innovated a new natural fibre by upcycling chicken butchery waste.
During the pitch, Muskan said: “For every one kg of chicken, 650 grams is edible meat, while 350 grams is butchery chicken waste. ‘Golden Feathers’ trains ragpickers to collect waste. The waste is processed through 27 natural sanitation processes and then segregated. 93 per cent of the waste is converted to fertilisers and the feathers are separated from this waste.”
The products are handmade printing and writing papers, quilts, jackets, shawls and mufflers.
Muskan said: “A 65-gram muffler reduces carbon footprints by nine kg, and each tribal woman artisan receives three days of employment. The process patent has been granted and published.”

Actress Alia Bhatt has responded to Kangana Ranaut's criticism regarding celebrities who don't take a stand on political and social issues by saying that she has an opinion on matters, but she likes to keep it to herself. Alia was interacting with the media at the fourth edition of Outlook Business magazine's 'Women of Worth' awards here on Wednesday. Kangana recently criticised actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia and Ranveer Singh for not voicing their opinions on political topics and for staying aloof from issues concerning the society at large.
Commenting on this, Alia said: "I definitely don't have that ability to speak as candidly as Kangana does and I really respect her for that. Maybe, in a way she is right that sometimes we do hold back because we don't want to talk unnecessarily about an issue. My dad (filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt) always says that there are already so many opinions in the world,...
