Manish Gadia, 36
Banker, Save Aarey co-founder
He has been breathing green for more than a decade. And he's only just begun. Manish Gadia, co-founder of the Save Aarey movement, is actually a banker, who regularly spends weekends in the lush environs of Aarey Milk Colony in Goregaon East. On the Saturday he meets us, he takes us to a patch of land filled with saplings — a project his group undertook with a Bohri trust, just one of umpteen initiatives he had spearheaded in the colony.
