How it all started?
Saurabh Gupta left his corporate HR job at Cafe Coffee Day and went on to cycle around the globe.
Over the next two years, he completed 50,000 kilometers cycling through Asia, Africa, and Europe- little more than the circumference of Earth.
He witnessed a great deal of destruction and apathy towards the environment in various regions around the world.
He channeled his determination into establishing Earth5R- an organization built on toughness and a real commitment to change.
This is how Earth5R was born.
