Sathya Raghu

Sathya Raghu V. Mokkapati is a dad of two and a regenerative capitalist with a soft spot for trees, numbers, and terrible puns. He co founded Soul Forest, a bold initiative that turns degraded land into thriving nature reserves and makes investing in nature both credible and cool. Before this, he co-founded Kheyti, where he helped design the award-winning Greenhouse-in-a-Box, a climate-smart farming innovation that won the Earthshot Prize in 2022.

A chartered accountant by training, Sathya has taught over 20,000 students. He’s a TED speaker and a fellow of Acumen, Aspen New Voices, and the Mulago Foundation—platforms where he blends science, storytelling, and action. This book was born from his conversations with his children, Virat and Ira. It’s his way of making climate awareness simple, playful, and powerful—so that understanding the planet doesn’t need a PhD, just a curious mind. When he’s not planting ideas or actual trees, he’s listening to music, sipping coffee, or daydreaming about a world where nature and people grow together.
