Management Team
We execute our projects through a team of action-oriented volunteers as well as skilled individuals
who we hire on contract basis. The foundation is privileged to have volunteers who are experts in
their fields – water experts, tree experts, plantation experts, tree census experts, composting
experts, social-media experts, content and marketing experts, and environmental engineers, who share
similar values as us. They actively assist the foundation in achieving its goals.
The purpose of the Non-profit startup is to serve the environment and to create positive and
measurable impact-at-scale on human life and the environment, hence we endeavour to minimise carbon
footprint of all aspects of our work. The foundation aspires to be carbon-neutral, hence encourages
work-from-home where possible.
