About Sandeep Anirudhan
An unconventional life
After a career in entrepreneurship and management, he quit conventional life completely to serve a larger purpose, and plunged himself completely into Sustainability Advocacy in all domains.
What inspired him?
Previously a Serial Entrepreneur and Management Professional, he witnessed the death of a close one, which made him acutely aware of the limited time we have in life on earth. This drove him to evaluate what he was doing with that limited time, and to review his life choices; he decided to turn his back on conventional life, and to dedicate himself to causes that are larger than self.. Ever since, he has been living a life of questioning everything, and contributing to the planet and society.
He has built several communities, which play catalysing roles in generating awareness and action, in areas as diverse as Sustainability, Regeneration, Citizen Engagement and Participation, Grass-root Democracy, Water Security, Urban Planning & Governance, Sustainable Mobility, Natural Farming, Conservation, Climate Action, Green Citizenship and Lake Citizenship, etc.,
The Urban citizenship initiatives he convenes are ‘‘Citizens’ Agenda for Bengaluru’, ‘Namma Whitefield’ and ‘Bengaluru Mobility’, and relentlessly pursues the agenda of 74th Amendment implementation through these.
His planetary citizenship initiatives are ‘Aikyam Community for Sustainable Living’, ‘Coalition for Water Security’, ‘Green Tweet Army’ and ‘Save Pattandur Agrahara Lake’. He is also an active proponent of the Natural Farming movement.
Through all of these, he’s been promoting 'conscious living' on our planet. Deriving inspiration from both the ‘Constitution of India’ and ‘Hind Swaraj’ by Gandhiji, his personal and public lives are examples of 'minimalism', 'gift economy' and community engagement.
He took the plunge a decade ago, without even savings or wealth to fall back on, trusting that the Universe has his back. And the Universe has never failed him, and society has always reciprocated, supporting him in all his endeavours since.
