Couple Leaves US Tech Jobs, Battles Cancer to Start an Organic Farm in Hyderabad

The decision to move from Silicon Valley to Hyderabad was not a difficult one to make for Madhavi and Venugopal Vippulancha. The shift happened to help their kids immerse themselves in the Indian culture—a strong part of Madhavi and Venu’s childhood too.

“Our children were growing in a country that just scratched the surface of our culture. What good are tabla and Indian classical dance classes if they are not immersed in the rich heritage? In 2003, we decided that the best step forward was to leave our jobs and come back to Hyderabad,” shares Madhavi.
