In this captivating TEDx talk, Tapan Chaudhari, a rural entrepreneur, takes us on a journey to Bordi village, showcasing the transformative power of experiential sustainable tourism in rural India.

Well put,Tapandada! It's truly remarkable that the journey from rural to urban often brings people full circle, willing them to return and settle in the loving embrace of rural life.

Very proud Tapan of you and Suryahas your Dad whom I know for several years. Very happy to see you on Ted talks. Takes me back 20 years when I had visited the farm house with a German friend of mine who still talks about it. Sustainability is the key for tomorrow and you have taken appropriate steps. Wish you lots of good luck and god bless.
