Last month, it was our very first family trip to this greenfield. I could not hold back my curiosity when I met Ashwani Khurana, (eco-entrepreneur and the Founder-CEO of Karma Lakelands); what was his motivation to cultivate a dream so unique?
When a person, with no prior experience in construction, nor hospitality, neither hailing from a rich business family, and without any inheritance per se, bought his first piece of land way back in 1989 with the sole purpose of planting trees and vowed to plant 1,00,000 trees in a decade, it must be unique.
It’s the story of a leader with a long-term vision and clear perspectives. Ashwani, the humble visionary as he is, revealed the story of his friendship with the legendary artist Nek Chand, the creator of Chandigarh's Rock Garden, and his contribution to making Karma Lakelands a reality. It grew from a profound enthusiasm for the environment and devotion to greening the soil.
