A Journey Rooted in Soil, Forged in Technology.
Our love for the soil is a family legacy. The 18 years in technology were for drawing the blueprint. We have returned to the land to apply that precision, building a more sustainable and nourishing world for our children to inherit.
"For years, we built systems for the world. Now, we simply listen to the system that built us all: Mother Nature."

The Soul of Our Work
These principles are not just rules we follow; they are the beliefs that flow through every seed we plant and every story we tell.
Harmony with Nature
We see technology not as a tool to dominate nature, but as a way to listen to it. Our innovation aims to understand and align with the earth's timeless rhythms.
A Promise to the Future
Every decision is a promise made to our children. We are stewards of this land, nurturing its health and vitality as the greatest legacy we can leave behind.
Growth Through Connection
Like a forest floor, our strength comes from our network. We cultivate relationships with families, farmers, and friends to foster a collective movement towards wellness.
Inspirations on the Path
Our philosophy is shaped by the wisdom of visionaries who saw farming not just as a profession, but as a sacred responsibility to nurture both the earth and humanity.
Dr. Verghese Kurien
Father of the White Revolution in India
"We must build on the resources represented by our young professionals and by our nation's farmers. Without their involvement, we cannot succeed. With their involvement we cannot fail"
Legacy: Founded Amul and revolutionized dairy farming across India
Masanobu Fukuoka
Pioneer of Natural Farming
"The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings."
Legacy: Inspired millions worldwide to embrace sustainable agriculture
Jalaluddin Rumi
Mystic Poet & Spiritual Philosopher
"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
Legacy: His words bridge the gap between inner awakening and outer change, influencing hearts across cultures and centuries.
From Systems to Soil: The Transition
Our journey has been one of applying the precision of the digital world to the profound wisdom of the natural world.
The Architect of Systems
An 18-year career in technology provided the blueprint. It taught us the power of systems thinking—designing complex, resilient networks. That same precision is now dedicated to creating efficient, sustainable smart farms.
The Cultivator of Health
The transition to farming was driven by a personal search for wellness. Co-founding 'Soul & Soil' in the UAE instilled a deep respect for natural wisdom—the understanding that the healthiest solutions heal both the land and our bodies.
Our Journey Through Time
From corporate boardrooms to fertile fields—the evolution of passion and purpose.
2004
The Digital Foundation
The journey began with a Master of Computer Application (MCA), building a foundation in systems thinking, project management, and emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence—skills that would later be applied to solving real-world challenges and creating sustainable solutions for the earth.
2017-2018
The Green Beginning
When the soul was applied to the soil, for healing, lifestyle management, and purpose, it became more than just farming. With a close-knit group of friends, we embraced community farming through a project we called Soul and Soil. What began as a way to reconnect with nature became a journey of restoration, for the land and for ourselves.
2018 - present
A Friendship Replanted
The 'famous 5 backbenchers gang' reunited to co-found Shambhala Guild Farms in Wayanad—a venture to blend farming with tourism and educate children on sustainable living.
2021
A Forest of Hope - Happiness Project
Amidst the Covid cycle and a period of low times, we began a healing cycle by planting a Miyawaki fruit forest in Kerala—an act that grew into a sanctuary of hope and connection with the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and sky.
2023-24
The Turning Point
While securing data and networks in IT, we realized true security begins at the roots—in food, farming, and care for the planet. This led us to blend tech with sustainable farming, farm tourism, health and wellness products, from farm to fork.

By the Farmer, Of the Farmer, For the Farmer
Rooted in purity, Sattva Agro was created to deliver clean, traceable food from farmers and producers to consumers. It opened a path for ethical branding and fair pricing by removing middlemen and empowering farmers through a platform built by them, for them.
2025
The Full-Time Mission - AL De Farms
With gained wisdom and technical knowledge, we left corporate life to create AL De Farms, a space for farm tourism, wellness, and spiritual healing. What began as a place for corporate get-togethers and retreats became a mission to heal the mind, body, and soul. Today, it’s a model of sustainable community farming, with demo farms, modern agri-tech, mindful food products, and a farmer’s market promoting conscious living.
