BAMBOO UGAM

About Us

Ugam, which means “source,” reflects the essence of our philosophy—our source is bamboo. At Bamboo Ugam, we craft bespoke furniture, innovative products, and architectural solutions that celebrate bamboo’s timeless elegance and versatility. Rooted in sustainability and creativity, we are an artisanal, privately owned business thriving on collaboration, customization, and a shared passion for design and nature.

Our story begins in the lush mountainous valleys of Velhe, where our forest homestead has been a sanctuary for nature conservation for over 18 years. Spearheaded by our founder’s parents, this labor of love has restored slopes, nurtured endemic species, and cultivated medicinal trees amidst thriving bamboo plantations. 

The lockdown of 2020 became a turning point, as the founder Ms. Priyanka Dapodikar—an architect deeply committed to nature conservation—immersed herself in exploring bamboo’s limitless potential. With a team that shares the same passion and vision, including Ar. Shubham Kotawadekar, the Head of Design & Architecture, Mr. Suresh Kokare, a Master Bamboo Artisan, and Mr. Ankush, a skilled artisan, Bamboo Ugam has built a foundation fueled by creativity and expertise that continues to drive the business forward.

At Bamboo Ugam, we continuously experiment and innovate, recently executing structures aimed at minimizing the cost of bamboo construction and making it more accessible to local villagers. Our designs and creations focus on promoting our local bamboo species, blending functionality with artistic exploration.

Beyond crafting products, we offer immersive experiences to connect people with bamboo’s potential. Guided tours of our bamboo forest in Zunjar Machi Eco Village provide a window into sustainable living, while hands-on workshops delve into bamboo’s significance and versatile applications. These initiatives reflect our commitment to education, exploration, and the promotion of bamboo as a sustainable resource.

Vision
