Mukesh Maurya
An IT professional
"I am a jack of all trades. I know what needs to be done and I know how to get it done.
Environmental issues have been on my mind since the beginning, as I have been a victim of its ill effects since my childhood. I want to get this world moving in the right direction and I will do anything to do so."

"I am passionate about communication, literature, photography, gastronomy, traveling around and meeting new people and cultures.
My mission of life is: "Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain" Unfortunately, there are many storms happening in our world at the moment, let's see if we can dance together to create synergies and forget about them."
Dávid Beck
"I grew up in Budapest, Hungary, graduated from high school in the US, then came back to go to college. I first became an office slave in my hometown, then moved to Madrid (to have more sun). There I was also charging and international company for staring at a monitor and click the mouse once in a while. I believe I gained a way more control over resources (money) than value I created, so it’s time to compensate. The smartest way to do it is to support education. Now I have the chance to do it through a small organization where no effort or money gets wasted, and it’s full of really enthusiastic people. So here I am, Prakriti, let me be part of the project!"
