Not many 24-year-olds would choose to ditch well-paying jobs and take up farming. But Mumbai-based Joshua Lewis and Sakina Rajkotwala decided to take the leap after a visit to Auroville in Puducherry in 2017 where they were inspired by Krishna Mckenzie, a native of England, who’s “honouring Mother Nature through local food.” The duo got down to business with Herbivore Farms, Mumbai’s first hyperlocal, hydroponic farm. Today, the farm grows 2,500 plants, and sells fresh, organic vegetables to customers across Mumbai.
