Yuvabe team takes an inward journey to understand mental health issues, create awareness and become better support systems for their own loved ones.
In September this year, our market research team got an exciting opportunity. Our key partner and sponsor, Quilt.ai, that helped train and establish the team, and supported us in taking the first steps towards building Yuvabe, invited us for an offsite at their HQ in Singapore. After two years of working with our international colleagues virtually, it was finally time to meet them all in person! For many of us, this was our first time on a flight, and for everyone this was our first international trip! This was truly a milestone, for us as a team, and as individuals.

This article focuses on Goal 2: ‘Zero Hunger’.
Being in Auroville provides us a unique opportunity to constantly meet people from different regions, with varied skills and life perspectives. Recently we had the pleasure of hosting Lalit Kishore Bhati, an architect and urban planner, who took time out to share with our team his perspective on the unique challenges and opportunities of living in a place like Auroville. Originally from the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Lalit moved to Auroville in his mid-twenties. As a young graduate, he knew he wanted his practice to be more than just about making beautiful buildings and seeked a more integral approach towards his work.

Hello, my name is Bhuvana and I grew up in Edayanchavadi, one of the villages surrounding Auroville’s bioregion. I like to think of myself as a lifelong student and have always enjoyed learning new things. After completing my schooling at Udavi, one of Auroville’s outreach schools, I went on to do a Masters in English, followed by a research based Masters in Education from TISS, Hyderabad. In the two years since I have been a part of Yuvabe, I can say that my interests in teaching and education as well as in acquiring new skills are being quite fulfilled.
As part of our service initiative, Sharat Kumar, a market researcher and analyst at Yuvabe, volunteers as an EVS teacher at Auroville’s outreach school, Isai Ambalam. Our teaching volunteers always aim to bring as much practical learning to our students as possible and as an Environmental Science teacher, Sharat feels it is important that students are taken on frequent field trips to inculcate in them an appreciation of and connection with the natural world around them.
At Yuvabe, one of the ways in which we want to support the holistic growth of the youth, is by creating opportunities for them to interact with experienced people from different walks of life. In this spirit, we invited Aruna Venkatachalam, who is a lecturer on social entrepreneurship in the US and a strategist for the Societal Platform, to give her views on leadership, creating exponential change and the importance of women becoming wealth creators.
