Green tech startup Myplan8 Launches Green Score™
A Revolutionary Lifestyle Score Empowering Individuals to Embrace
Sustainability for a Greener Future
Myplan8, a green-tech start-up, today announced its latest innovation – the world’s first-of-its-kind lifestyle score, the Green Score™. The green score has the potential to transform the way individuals evaluate and improve their sustainable practices.
The Green Score™ is an exclusive and patented intelligence system developed by the company. It helps individuals understand their impact on the economy, society, and the environment. Myplan8 has addressed the world’s present need to reduce their ecological footprint and pave the way for a greener future. Just as a credit score evaluates financial credibility, the Green Score™ provides a simplified understanding of an individual’s overall sustainability impact.
Understanding the Green Score™, the score ranges from 300 to 900 (Bad to Excellent). Green Score categories are – Poor to Average (425-550) which is a below-average performance. Whereas, a score between 550 to 625 (Average to Good) suggests adopting minor consumption changes and eco-friendly alternatives to create a greater positive impact. Higher Green Scores™ signify a more environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Green score is a true reflection of our eco-conscious practices in day to day life. An individual benefits in three ways – firstly they understand their impact through the score and the report helps them understand which part of their lifestyle impacts the environment the most, secondly they get tips to help them modify to reduce or zero their impact and lastly they get rewarded for every positive action with Green credits, which are actual carbon credit with real monetary value and get curated offers as their score improves.
Nidhi Mehra, Co-Founder of Myplan8 said – “Knowing and understanding an individual’s Green Score™ offers a unique and measurable way for them to evaluate their environmental impact due to their lifestyle choices and actions. It provides a consistent and quantifiable method for assessing sustainability performance, enabling consumers and stakeholders to make informed judgments. By understanding your Green Score™ and the accompanying detailed report, you gain insight into your current actions and the positive impact that can be achieved through suggested alternative behaviours.”
“At Myplan8 we have built a reward-based ecosystem that empowers individuals to make positive changes effortlessly. Achieving a good Green Score™ comes with a range of benefits and rewards. Individuals with high scores get an opportunity to earn actual monetary value through Green Credits™, which are actual tradable and exchangeable carbon credits. In the future, we plan to establish a good Green Score™ as a way to provide added value to an individual’s profile, leading to benefits in education, career, finance, and government initiatives,” added Koushik Sur, Co-Founder of Myplan8.

Oorjaa Introduces the Goldenrod Floor Lamp — A Luminous Ode to Nature

Oorjaa, celebrated for its commitment to conscious design and sustainable artistry, unveils its latest sculptural lighting piece — the Goldenrod Floor Lamp. True to the brand’s ethos of fusing craftsmanship, materiality, and emotion, this piece illuminates spaces with a soft, organic glow that captures the essence of mindful living.


Inspired by the delicate form of the goldenrod gall seed pod, the Goldenrod Floor Lamp extends gracefully from floor to ceiling, embodying fluidity and natural rhythm. Each curve of its form evokes the quiet elegance of nature’s patterns, while the warm amber light it radiates creates an enveloping sense of calm — perfect for winter evenings. Crafted entirely from crushed banana plant fibre paper, its texture mirrors the raw beauty of the natural world. Resting on a reclaimed wooden base, the lamp celebrates imperfections — the creases, veins, and grain — that tell a story of origin and earth. The sculptural silhouette, glowing from within, becomes both an art form and a source of gentle warmth, inviting a connection between nature and the human spirit.
The Goldenrod Floor Lamp transcends the idea of conventional lighting. Its grounding presence and poetic design make it an ideal addition to both residential and hospitality spaces. In homes, it finds harmony in living rooms, reading corners, or bedrooms, infusing each space with meditative warmth. Within boutique hotels, wellness retreats, or art-centric lobbies, it transforms atmospheres into sanctuaries of light and texture. Wherever it stands, the lamp adds a touch of organic sophistication — a sculptural statement that softly commands attention while nurturing stillness and reflection.
With the Goldenrod Floor Lamp, Oorjaa once again redefines illumination — not merely as light, but as a living expression of nature, craft, and quiet luxury.
