About

Ajay was a senior partner at Trilegal, a leading Indian law firm, where he built one of the most successful legal practices in the country. After being deeply influenced by what was happening with the planet, Ajay decided to focus his attention on sustainability and climate change. To that end he co-founded Bangalore Creative Circus (BCC) and the Initiative for Climate Action (ICA), both working towards building ecosystems for climate action. BCC is a 20,000 sq feet experimental Living Lab in Bangalore that was set up to bring together communities of practice and promote solutions around sustainable and conscious living. The lab experiments with a number of different systems including sustainable architecture, art and design, energy, water, waste, mobility, community, culture, food systems, regenerative agriculture, circular economy, climate change, education and empowerment. At the ICA, Ajay is working with a diverse group of people and organisations on Project 46 - a proto-lab working with about 50,000 residents in Ward 46 in Bangalore to empower them to make informed choices and access quality services and solutions with the intent to test and prototype what a flourishing community in the era of climate change could look like and through it create a working model for the future of Bangalore and other cities in the global South. He is also involved in a number of other climate action collaborations both in Bangalore and beyond. Ajay is incredibly passionate about art, science, sustainability, and wellbeing. He also co-founded Studio Madhatter – an art and design studio based in Bangalore.
