Welcome to India.
This week, we’re off to India, seeing the country through the eyes of four community members: Binoyeeta (whose photo heads off this post), Girish, Divya and Zabeeh. What unites these people, along with their residency in India, is a love of travel and adventure.
India ranks top 5 for countries that most of our community lives in. With a long history with deep regional culture, India is the second most populated country on earth with its population hitting 1.2 billion in 2013 and continuing to grow. Today’s community members come from some of the most populous cities in India: Bangalore, Mumbai, and New Delhi.
Binoyeeta Das is a newly independent designer (becoming independent has been one of the best decisions of her life) with experience working for start-ups. Binoyeeta is also passionate about music and believes music and design heavily influence one another. Binoyeeta links her page in her email signature to get connected to new people.
Girish Nayak is the co-founder of Rime, a platform for content creators to share ideas. Besides being an entrepreneur, Girish loves travel and is on the lookout for his next adventure.
An animation and illustration designer, Divya Chaturvedi enjoys travel and admits to being somewhat of a workaholic. Divya founded the company Ullu, a brand that sells hand illustrated, limited edition products.
