Keyur Barad and Nishit
Barad, two brothers bound by a shared vision, embarked on an awe-inspiring
journey within the heart of north Mumbai.
In this barren expanse of
land, forsaken and void of life, they found the canvas for their extraordinary
tale. Their story, a harmonious blend of resilience, dedication, and a
deep-rooted love for the environment, stands as an uplifting example of what
can be achieved through unwavering determination.
In 2007, their father, the
visionary entrepreneur Girdhar Barad, acquired a three-acre parcel of land
adorned only with disintegrated stone and a solitary tamarind tree. The initial
landscape was nothing short of a challenge, and it was upon this canvas that
the Barad family would sow the seeds of their dream.
The first generation of brothers, guided by their father and uncle, set forth with a singular goal: to cultivate the barren land into a thriving haven while nurturing the core of their ancestral village home at its very heart.
Their journey commenced with
a humble dedication to learning, where each season brought with it trials and
errors.
Nature, an unpredictable
companion, tested their resolve with unseasonal rains, failed crops, and the
whims of cyclones. Yet, they persisted, resolute in their commitment to shun
chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and to work in harmony with the land.
In the face of adversity,
they discovered the profound truth that nurturing the soil, year after year,
yields a bounty that transcends the ordinary. Nature, as they realized,
responds generously to acts of kindness.
Amidst setbacks and
challenges, the brothers realized that their tale was not just one of entrepreneurship; it was a saga of perseverance, a celebration of nature's
beauty, and a vision that took over a decade to fully manifest. Despite the
allure of convenience, Keyur and Nishit chose a different path, one that
allowed them to infuse their hearts and souls into a vibrant oasis known today
as ‘The Chlorophyll Estate’.
For fifteen years, they
toiled tirelessly, crafting a lush haven where luxury coexisted with nature's
bounty. The estate, more than a catchphrase of "farm-to-table,"
embodies a way of life rooted in sustainability. Their symphony of dedication
echoed through every sapling planted, every seed nurtured. The estate, now
adorned with verdant splendour, stands as a monument to their unity, passion,
and perseverance.
The Chlorophyll Estate is
more than a physical manifestation; it's an embodiment of their conviction that
nature thrives when nurtured, diversity embraced, and history cherished. A
sanctuary for the soul, it offers respite from the relentless pace of modern
life, inviting guests to reconnect with the earth, trace the origins of their
sustenance, and relish the simplicity of existence.
With unwavering commitment, the Barad brothers have harnessed the essence of their journey to create an enriching haven for all who cross its threshold.
Delving into their narrative reveals a tapestry woven with countless challenges, sacrifices made with grace, and an undying passion propelling every step. The Barad brothers' journey resonates on a profound level — not solely for their commitment to preserving the planet, but also for their unwavering familial bonds and the resilient spirit that carried them through storms, both literal and metaphorical.
Their story is a testament
to the potential that lies within every individual and family, to transform
adversity into opportunity, aridness into abundance, and dreams into reality.
Through their journey, Keyur and Nishit have proven that with a heart full of
determination, a touch of perseverance, and a profound love for the
environment, one can adapt a symphony of change that resonates far beyond the
boundaries of their land.
