During my interactions with various people trying to innovate in the social sector, I’ve met lots of interesting people. High energy levels, minds buzzing with ideas, and passion seem to be the common denominator. Satya( V. Satyanarayana) and Dyan( Dyan Belliapa) fit this description aptly.
Alumnus of School of Planning, Ahmedabad, Satya and Dyan have decided to give up a mainstream career in order to focus on low-cost housing. Their firm, Aarusha Homes, hopes to be a facilitator-cum-consultant that aggregates housing demand among the poor, and also help low-income groups in many other ways.
Despite meeting him early morning on a cold winter day, Satya was bubbling with ideas for what can be done to provide innovative housing solutions to the residents of re-settlement colonies in Delhi who have just 12 sq.m each.

Going forward, I am quite sure that we’ll have a lot to do with Satya and Dyan.
