Behind the Journey Ashwani Aggarwal

Do you come face-to-face with something that irks you on a daily basis? Perhaps you see people litter or cross the white line at traffic signals. You see it and get annoyed but resign yourself to the fact that there’s nothing you can do about it. Ashwani Aggarwal has a similar story. The design student saw people urinating on the road every day when he walked home from the studio. Instead of saying he couldn’t do anything, Ashwani decided to fix the problem.

He used the waste materials easily accessible to him, including a 20-litre plastic bottle, to build a urinal. He installed it along the road and took the first step towards solving India’s sanitation and plastic waste problem. Ashwani’s mother invested in his idea and gave him a small amount of money that he used to start Basic Shit. Now, Ashwani builds low-cost toilets using waste materials. Over time, he has worked on improving his designs and even provided urinals for music festivals across India’s big cities.

So far, Ashwani has installed over 180 toilets in four cities. His dream is to create a toilet every 200 metres. For his business to grow and succeed, Ashwani needs to plan his finances carefully. Since he started in 2014, Ashwani has put aside some part of his profits. He intends to dip into these funds to expand his business.

Ashwani took care of his finances first, allowing him to pursue his dreams absolutely carefree. You can do the same. Prudent planning enables you to build a corpus for a financially secure future. You can purchase a Unit-Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) and enjoy the benefits of life coverage and investment opportunities under a single policy. Once you plan your finances for the future, you can freely pursue your passion and make a difference in the world.
