A little over 1,500 days ago, Ankit Arora set out on his bicycle to experience wanderlust and discover the real culture of India. Today, he has built a self-sustaining village in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu. A former journalist, Ankit has now worked with different rural communities, making sustainable mud and plastic recycled homes, practising organic farming, and simply meeting new people each day. On the road, he discovered a new face of India—where kindness is a way of life.
