Listed #26th on “The World's Top 100 Compassionate Business Leaders” by Salt Magazine U.K. An Industrial Engineer by qualification, Shubhendu creates native, wild, self-sustaining forests using afforestation methodology from Japanese Scientist Dr. Akira Miyawaki. His forests grow 10 times faster than a regular plantation, they are 30 times denser and 30 times more bio- diverse. The method is completely natural and only native species are planted.
In past nine years, Shubhendu and his team have successfully planted 144 forests in 10 countries, in some of the most extreme climates and soils. Shubhendu is an Ashoka, TED and INK fellow. Shubhendu's work has resulted in a policy level change both in India and abroad. By doing detailed documentation of his methodology in multiple languages and making it open source, Shubhendu has enabled several people worldwide to make their own forest independently.
