Othla – Taste of Doing Nothing
Give While You Get

Every Othla delivery can carry two boxes.

Yours — the one with the millets, kefir and copper kalash.And theirs — a bag of clothes, books, toys or stationery that our delivery partner collects on their way back.

What you can donate

Four categories we currently accept. Only send items in good condition — someone will actually use them.

👕

Clothes

Washed, folded, wearable — no undergarments

📚

Books

Textbooks, storybooks, anything in readable condition

🧸

Toys

Clean, working, no broken parts

✏️

Stationery

Pens, pencils, notebooks, crayons, geometry boxes

How it works

Four steps. Ten seconds at checkout. Zero extra trips.

1 · Pledge at checkout

At checkout, tick the give-back accordion, choose what you'd like to donate — clothes, books, toys or stationery — and add a note if you like.

2 · Pack it alongside your order

Keep the donation bag ready for the day your Othla order arrives. Fresh, folded, and clearly labelled works best (clothes have a short hygiene checklist).

3 · One doorstep, two deliveries

Our delivery partner drops your order AND collects your donation in the same trip. Zero extra emissions, zero extra planning for you.

4 · We hand it to a vetted NGO

Every donation is sorted at the store and delivered to an active NGO partner whose programme matches what you gave. We share a short thank-you when it lands.

A few honest notes

Is this only in Bengaluru?+

Right now, yes. Give-back appears only for delivery orders inside Bengaluru — our delivery partners work here and we sort every donation in-store before it goes to an NGO.

Does it cost extra?+

No. There's no fee for pledging or for the pickup. All you pay is your normal Othla order total.

What if I only have a few things?+

Even a single set of clothes or a stack of storybooks helps. Small donations move quickly to the right NGO.

Do I get a receipt?+

We share a short WhatsApp / email confirmation once your donation reaches the NGO. This isn't a formal 80G tax receipt — those come directly from the NGO if they're eligible.
