We are an environment services company. We train students to build sustainable livelihoods, run commissioned research for governments, NGOs and CSR teams, publish in the nature sector, and incubate the ventures that come out of all three.

Section 01 — What we do

Four wings,
one canopy

Each wing feeds the next. Training surfaces people worth backing. Research gives them evidence. Publications give the evidence a readership. Incubation turns it into something that pays for itself.

Wing 01

Training

Helping students actualise a sustainable life. Broad-based skills — communication, enterprise, field method, design thinking — taught hands-on, on campus or in the field.

  • Campus workshops & bootcamps
  • Faculty development programmes
  • Field experience & study tours
  • JRF / NET coaching
See training services
Wing 02

Research

Commissioned research for government departments, NGOs, CSR programmes, private companies and institutions — plus hands-on research help for individual scholars.

  • Detailed project reports (DPR)
  • CSR impact measurement
  • Biodiversity & baseline surveys
  • Green campus audits
See research services
Wing 03

  • Field guides & training material
  • Interpretation & signage content

Section 05 — Incubation support

If you are building
something green

Incubation support for students, researchers and first-time founders working in nature, sustainability and life sciences. We take you from a rough idea to something a grant committee or a customer will take seriously. No equity is taken on the cohort programme.

Stage 01

Idea clinic

A 90-minute one-to-one. We pressure-test the idea, map the user, and tell you honestly whether it is worth the next six months of your life.

Stage 02

Lean canvas

Two workshops to turn the idea into a one-page business model, with the assumptions that would kill it written down and ranked.

Stage 03

Prototype sprint

Eight weeks, weekly mentoring, one built thing at the end — a product, a service pilot, or a paying first customer.

Stage 04

Scheme readiness

We help you assemble what RKVY RAFTAAR, NIDHI, Startup India and state schemes actually ask for, and rehearse the pitch.

Stage 05

Linkage

Introductions into our university, NGO and CSR network for pilots, field sites, data and first orders.
