Our Team
Brindha
Founder
An entrepreneur and an avid trekker, I am enjoying my new found passion for farming and the joy of simple living and staying close to nature. Plus the valuable everyday lessons in resilience, humility, patience and more. As a parent, I understood how transformative such an experience would be for students! Thus was born the vision to use Thaimadi Farms as a platform for experiential learning programs that will empower students with the knowledge, attitude and skills that would make them real-world ready.
Sathyanarayanan G
Domain Expert
Hailing from a family of farmers, it has been my dream to re-create the lush green paddy fields etched in my childhood memories. I am also a keen explorer of traditional Indian knowledge systems in areas of native grains, food-as-medicine, organic crop cultivation and sustainable farming practices. I would love to share this knowledge with young children in hopes that it will foster a sense of reverence and responsibility for the farming sector.
Sharmila
Program Design
A bachelor in Rehabilitation Science, I love to engage with children over varied activities that help them discover their uniqueness, explore their strengths and embrace their imperfections. Farming is a wonderful way to engage with nature using all your senses of Sight, Taste, Touch, Smell and Sound. It is therapeutic beyond imagination and I would love that parents gift that experience to their children.
