We sit on the three guest beds in Ishaan’s living room. He says his parents would be disappointed because beds belong in the bedroom and divans in the living room. He came to Delhi to set up an urban farming operation, helping people grow food on their rooftops. "It worked well while we just focused on the rich people who wanted to impress their guests." There are a lot of people in Indian cities who know nothing except farming and he hopes they’ll be able to use those and develop new skills by working with these little urban gardens.
Being an architect in India is just making hotels and malls and resort over and over again. "I liked the work ethic in Germany." He has one employee whom he’s teaching math so he can plan the growing cycles better. The plan to expand to orphanages and old people’s homes, where the residents can maintain the farm. Because there is no tracking of vegetables in India, restaurants are excited to buy food that’s fresh and has a certified history. But the growing cycles are slow and Ishaan doesn’t know if this all works out. "Here you just have to step on the street to see a million problems that you could work on."
