Gul Bhatia was a marketing professional working in Corporate and Media Houses, to whom the pull towards Sustainability came when she started getting sick from various Autoimmune Lifestyle Diseases.
They decided to give it a shift in their mindset of living life from an ignorant consumer, to the Reality of being a responsible Human Being. There is a need for Conscious Living to try to listen to the callings of the Nature, be it from your own body or the environment we live in.
Kunal & Gul, a married couple representing Mango People are traveling since December 2016 in their Car with a Portable Bamboo Geodesic Dome Tent, to find, learn and share more and more Solutions on Self Sustainable Living.
Kunal Bhatia, an established TV actor and a Film Maker is also a Civil Engineer from IIT-Delhi, and his quest of creating structures that can sustain life in an eco-friendly way has got him take a U-turn from his career and move out to building structures using the very natural, wonder grass- Bamboo.
So they decided to take the leap of faith and move on to a Learning & Sharing Journey, visiting right places and people, with the Mission- Sustainable Living. During their journey, they have designed a fantastic Portable Dome Structure made up of Bamboo, using the GeoDesic Geometry, which can be assembled in 25 minutes and used as a tent for their travel. They are currently taking Workshops on 'How to Build your own Bamboo GeoDesic Dome wherever they are traveling.
