In 2006 we purchased a plot of land some 4 acres in area (16,000 sq m), a few kilometres outside Trivandrum, and in a rural setting. We sought and found a local, eco-friendly firm of architects who have helped us realise our dream. In 2009 we move to the new campus, which features:

  • Extensive and innovative use of bamboo in construction
  • Room for growth from the present 150, to 500 staff
  • Self-sufficient in water by rainwater harvesting in 60m pond
  • Self-sufficient in organic vegetables grown by our staff
  • Biogas from food waste to provide at least 50% of cooking fuel
  • Canteen run by a women’s association – see Kaveh’s blog post.
  • Crèche for employees in traditional Kerala house
  • On-site eco-friendly sewage system (anaerobic baffled reactor)
  • Minimal use of air conditioning
  • Full accessibility for wheelchair users via bridges
  • WIFI internet access throughout
  • Conference facility for up to 80 participants with full A/V
  • Sport facilities: Volleyball, gym, badminton, yoga, kayaking
  • Guest houses for visitors
