He learnt from some of the most renowned natural farming practitioners in India, and developed a tropical fruit orchard using zero chemical inputs. Though he gave up the farm life after 4 years and resumed his career, the experience led him to a deeper understanding of the state of agriculture in India. It also instilled in him deep appreciation and respect for trees and their healing capacity.
