Birth of 'Real Impact' Solutions

Sustainability is essential for ensuring a prosperous and harmonious future. By adopting sustainable approaches, we can protect the environment, promote social equity, and build a resilient economy that benefits present and future generations.

Building a green world requires the collaboration of individuals, businesses, governments, and organizations.


Enabling the present generation meet it’s needs without compromising the future generation’s ability to meet their own needs is the catalyst for the birth of ' Real Impact Solutions'

STEWARDSHIP
Stewardship is the guiding compass for Real Impact. Stewardship refers to responsible management and care of resources. It starts with individual actions but extends beyond it to involve collective responsibility.
The Brand story
Our brand identity is inspired by the warrior who is ready to protect. A warrior puts the land and the people before self. The identity harmoniously blends classic and contemporary thoughts.

The letter R is designed to represent the alphabets I and R depicting Individual Responsibility leading to Real Impact.

The dot is the visual element that strikes a balance between the two alphabets depicting the power of connection and collaboration.

It also creates an opening between the two letters, forming the shape of a warrior standing with a shield.
