Riya was not interested in continuing her family business of making clay pots. However, due to the declining condition of the business, she decided to take it up. She began exploring innovative uses of clay. One day, while attending a school event, she heard the principal complaining about the large use of plastic cups and plates during functions. This gave her an idea to create eco-friendly disposable clay cups and plates. She discussed the idea with her mentor, who advised her that creative ideas should be turned into a commercially valuable forms in order to survive and grow.
