This former techie’s organic strawberry farm is blazing a trail in the Nilgiris

Rajasekaran, 35, is clad in khaki shorts and red sneakers, and earphones dangle from his ears. Formerly an IT professional, he worked in the bustle of Bengaluru for almost seven years before getting tired of the city and moving back to the Nilgiris, where he had spent his early years. Then, about three years ago, he sealed his pact with the hills by setting up one of the few completely organic strawberry farms in the district.
