Meet The Team
Saveagram is made possible only due to a team of volunteers, who believe in its mission. These people
are every ready to roll up their sleeves and help. These are people who join us regularly or adhoc when we reach out to them. We are blessed and unique in having these precious human beings as our team members. Due to space constraints on the page we are not able to show pictures of every one of us, but they know who they are and you will too when you get to know us more.
Amala, Ninita, Gaiatri, Bavani and many others
With her passion for all things natural and Organic, Amala founded SaveAGram to preserve a few beautiful villages with their sustainable methods of living and to nurture their organic agriculture passed down generations.
Ninita joined Amala in this journey soon after and has spent many an hour moving SaveAGram forward, with her eye for detail and her dependable nature and ability to roll up her sleeves and do any work that is required.
Gaiatri has been a boon in taking over our legal and finance reins and working on social media. Yes most of the posts you see in Instagram are curated by her. Her legal background helps in ensuring that the fine lines are all read and due diligence is given to matters that arise during operations.
Bavani is our more recent addition in terms of support. Her love for village life drew her to SaveAGram and her combined interest in social work and content writing is a wonderful combination that helps the content that goes into our more regular newsletters and other areas as required.
