About bNg
We don’t move money. We move people, time, and trust.
Barter & Green Foundation, registered as NGO 869/2016, runs India’s community-powered barter economy. We replaced cash with contribution — Karyakartas across 14 states donate time, skills, and goods, and earn Barter Credits redeemable for solar panels, EV cycles, and MSME starter kits.
