Description
I studied literature and trained myself in filmmaking, which is my passion and work. Wanting to explore and understand alternative lifestyles that respect and celebrate nature, I got interested in Permaculture and started my journey by volunteering at a farm near Hyderabad for five months, before and during the International Permaculture Conference, 2017. Afterwards, I started slow traveling around India, volunteering on farms and helping grassroots organisations with photo/video documentation.
I'm especially interested in learning off grid living, helping out on organic/permaculture farms, alternative cafes and hostels, working with indigenous communities, yoga schools, and other community initiatives.
I recently moved base to Mumbai and hope to take regular sojourns to inspiring places and communities around India (and outside India eventually).
I would consider myself a keen student of Vedantic philosophy.

I practice Dhrupad vocals every morning. As long as there's a spot I can practice it at without disturbing anyone, I'm good. :)

About two-three hours away from Mumbai, on the outskirts of a town called Roha, Iqbal has a two acre farmland with an abandoned stone quarry that becomes a pond during monsoon. Fellow residents include two female dogs with male names- Jangya(‘rusty’ in Marathi) and Baka (‘stupid’ in Japanese) and two cats- bastardo and baby girl. Life is simple at… read more

It was a great pleasure to be at Madhu and Sampada's place. Many happy memories sharing work, food, laughter and enriching discussions. They are very closely connected to the local community and the village folk are friendly, full of joy and laughter and look out for each other. I think I was their first volunteer and while I was there, a few more… read more

Vikas was a hard working volunteers, helping us out in all the tasks required. He was a jovial guy add happy to be around. His knowledge and discussions on movies as a budding filmmaker was enriching for us. He also helped us in taking care of the pets and the house when we had to go out for a few days. For which we are very grateful.

Rajen is a very wise man and you'll have a great many conversations with him. That in itself is a good incentive to go there, not to mention the beauty and solitude of Madikeri mountains. You'll need to be tough though, because life isn't a bed of roses in a place like this, but when you look at the night sky, the absolute silence and air so fresh… read more

Adel and Ulli are easily some of the most amazing people I’ve had the privilege of getting to know from Workaway. Adel has been running the hotel for over 15 years with a lot of care for guests, volunteers and staff alike. If you decide to go there, know that you’ll be treated with a lot of love and respect and become a part of the family,… read more

When you initially plan to stay someplace for 2 weeks and end up staying for 5, it says a lot. Dee's place has been my favorite workaway experience so far because of the respect she has for volunteers' time. In return, the volunteers respect the work and and give their best, keeping track of their own hours. The place attracts a lively bunch of… read more

It was a pleasure to work with Vikas! Great company, warm hearted, friendly spirit. He produced several short promotional videos for us on the farm which was a huge benefit as neither of us have any film making skills. We would recommend Vikas to any Workaway hosts.

I volunteered at Kunal and Laura’s place for two weeks in end of Jan/beg. of Feb, and made seven short films between 30 secs-3 mins for them to promote their place. They are committed to healthy, waste free living and spreading the permaculture message. I found them to be open to new suggestions and ideas and keen to draw on your skills and… read more

I'd have left a review sooner if my account didn't expire but as others have pointed out, Krish's farm really is like a small permaculture school. His farm was my first exposure to permaculture, after which, on his suggestion, I went to his PDC teacher's farm and spent five months volunteering during the International Permaculture Convergence.… read more

Vikas was a very hard working volunteer & even brought some friends with them - they all came at a very crucial time in implementing our food forest and got some important tasks done! It was great to have the extra hands around and we got a lot accomplished with this team. His friend Nick was also a great help & very keen to learn about… read more
