Takes care of – Operations and the no2co2 website
Careening wildly from Biochemistry labs, to the Institute of Rural Management, the New York University, designing Human Resources Systems, being a Yoga instructor, trying to grow vegetables and working with rural craftspersons, the common thread in Joya’s career has been the hands-on involvement and attention to detail that she bring to each project.

Poonam Kasturi
Poonam
Kasturi is the key founder of the company ‘Daily Dump’ that provides consultancy and solutions
for waste management.
She is trained as an industrial designer Poonam and
enjoys the mundane. Daily Dump is an endeavour where she is experimenting with
how design can play out in ways that perhaps were not really explored before.
Her experience with teaching and working in both industrial and craft sectors
inform her work on her consultancy and design projects.Often asked what
motivated her to begin such a project, her short reply is - Design used well,
can help you see whole systems. So this is her journey - using design to make
sense of whole systems.
Savita Vijayakumar
Takes care of – Research and Outreach
.After having completed her degree in Journalism, Savita changed tracks and decided to disprove Yeats's,"" The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."
Together with her dearest friend Eshanya-, she has founded a Non Profit Organization- 'So, What Now?'- www.sowhatnow.co.in . Based on the the philosophy that you cant change an entire generation, but when a person realized the power to affect external change, it is this realization that inturn affects the change within. For her, the NPO is an experiment to learn and observe and see if things can be achieved differently, to see if she will indeed meet Frost at the end of the Road Less Taken."
