We're the only media company in India that tracks its carbon footprint and we're carbon negative by a factor of 90 times as we have planted and continue to maintain private forests with over 50 000 trees in New Delhi and the Himalaya at our various wilderness and conservation land holdings... We ask that you join us in this endeavour thus earning your company carbon neutrality in the process and a permanent vacation home-cottage and camping grounds among our flowering tree Rhododendron forests and pheasant populations at 8000 feet in the Himalaya! We're also active in a range of wildlife conservation and Himalayan initiatives including a twenty year old search for the Mountain Quail conservation of old heritage estates and abandoned tea gardens in the western Himalaya. Yet our headquarters is far from wilderness- our office is located 200 meters away from the most expensive piece of commercial real estate in the world - a shop that rents for $200 per square foot per month!
