History

Inheritance India was set up in 2002 by a diverse group of people united by a common vision. The vision was to evolve a system that would conserve rapidly diminishing and fragile natural resources by assigning a finite value to them and establishing their worth to the world. In the process, marginalized forest-dependent communities were planned to be integrated into the mainstream.

The group was multi-disciplinary in nature and possessed the mix of necessary skills to implement this vision. The comprised of a naturalist, a hospitality strategist, a safari camp manager, a financial planner, an environmental scientist and a media professional.

The venture opened with the conservation and reforestation of an abandoned plantation in the Western Ghats. Today the organization is involved with over 100,000 acres of bio-diverse land and has interests spread across four states of India.

Roabin Mazumdar, Director:

Born in India, a graduate of Economics and Law from the University of Bombay, Roabin Mazumdar has been working with social enterprises for many years. He is also a producer of documentary films on heritage subjects which have won national awards.

He is one of the founders of an NGO for street youth in Mumbai which was set up in the aftermath of the communal riots in the mid 90's.

In 2001 he started identifying potential environmental conservation and forestation projects in India with a view to creating sustainable models. Inheritance India was set up as a for-profit social enterprise to platform such models. Today he works towards using carbon finance as a catalyst for developing an integrated model for foresting and forest-linked community enterprises.
