Kartik wears the legacy of his forefathers as agriculturists on the world stage to draw attention to the perils of climate inaction. With a level of self awareness unusual for one so young, he is a Facilitator for Plastic Action with UNEP, a Youth Advocate with UNICEF, Ambassador for Joti Foundation, BeVisioneer for Marcedes Benz, Youth Advisor for Google. I can only describe my first chat with him surreal, over a patchy wireless connection on his farm cloistered in a room with his parents on the outside. Indubitably, we had a lot of ground to cover across generations in India.
