“What would happen if the city had to pay to receive rainfall?” The trio from Gurugram brainstormed over this question while stuck in traffic due to heavy rains. Today, they are helping Siemens, Tata, and the governments of Delhi and Uttarakhand harvest rain by using recycled plastic!

Located at H-1456 Chittaranjan Park (CR Park) in the heart of South Delhi, is a four-storey home, christened 'Green One,' that spreads across 2,842 sq. Ft, and is the first individual certified green residence in India.

This green home, made of recycled material, exudes joy and warmth, much like the members from four generations of a family who reside there.

“I don’t want rainwater harvesting to be a novel initiative by a few but a regular and common practice that touches each corner of the country", says this incredible man.

The best part? Vinayak Parkhi's economical model needs no electricity or any kind of pump, and can be fitted by any plumber easily! #SaveWater #GreenIndia #Innovation
