We used to be typical urbanites in the corporate world, Bengaluru being our last lived city. We as a family went through a transformational journey across the past decade. It all started with simply awareness and then deepened with reflections and practice. It took us from typical urban material living through minimalism, unschooling and finally off-the-grid living when we decided to quit our jobs and move to the mountains.
Watch this for a sneak peak into our transformation journey -
While we lived this off-the-grid life, we were in bliss but we could see that the community around us wasn’t… although we were living under the same circumstances. This was for a number of reasons. A major one being - lack of stable livelihood. What started as a “let’s do what we can” effort in 2019 is now building an ecosystem here in the Nilgiris to address equity (both gender and community) using craft and commerce as means.
We started indianyards.org to upskill and enable women from rural & indigenous communities to become first generation artisans and with a timely intervention by Rainmatter.org, we are now building thegoodgift.shop as a market linking arm of this ecosystem.
thegoodgift.shop is our efforts towards making gifting conscious. We are open to b2b and/or custom collaborations.
in us.
