ISB MBA retires at 31 to become a full-time organic farmer | Ep 12 | The Farmizen Show

Описание: In this episode of The Farmizen Show, we bring you the inspiring story of Sudhakar, who traded his corporate career in Mumbai for a life dedicated to sustainable farming at Vanaavil Farm in Tamil Nadu. 🌱

He did this change when he was just 31 years old - he purchased an 11 acre farm as soon as he paid off his education loan and has been living at the farm for the last 6 years with his partner Noushadya. Their daughter was born at the farm during COVID, and it has been a very inspiring journey to watch.
