Welcome to the Soul Forest family, a collective of nature enthusiasts set out to create liveable nature reserves. We are artists, entrepreneurs, executives, architects, and scientists who have come together to turn barren lands into mega biodiverse forests that act as sanctuaries for wildlife and peaceful havens for humans. We address the alarming 70% decline in biodiversity over the past 50 years head-on, creating a win-win solution for the planet and humanity. Our flagship Soul Forest spans 200 acres in Veltoor, Telangana, nestled alongside a picturesque 400-acre lake just a two-hour drive from Hyderabad. About 80% of our land is dedicated to preserving biodiversity, guided by global best practices and ancient indigenous wisdom. The remaining 20% fosters eco-friendly living spaces, wellness centers, and educational workshops, empowering local economies and communities. An endeavour spearheaded by CosmosGreen (www.cosmosgreen.in), Soul Forest is led by two of the co-founders of Kheyti, which won the prestigious EarthShot Prize 2022 for protecting and restoring nature. Our goal is audacious: Transform 100,000 acres of arid lands in major cities worldwide into vibrant biodiverse forests in a decade, generating 100,000 livelihoods within and around these Soul Forests. Join us on a journey of hope and actionable wisdom, exploring new paradigms of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Discover how our investments can enrich both financial and natural capital while honouring indigenous wisdom and uplifting local communities. Together, lets rewrite the narrative, shifting headlines to "Humans Ignited Biodiversity Gain."

Sundae’s mission is to help homeowners and investors get the best outcome when it’s time to sell or buy a house that needs some love. The Sundae Marketplace is a platform that connects homeowners and investors who want to sell or buy homes that need repair.

At Venmo, we’re working to build a payment experience thats simple, delightful and connected. Since our founding in 2009, we’ve quickly grown from an idea hatched by two college roommates who wanted a better way to pay each other back to the go-to digital wallet that’s known and loved by millions. What started off as a simple SMS platform to send and receive money has evolved into a social payments app allowing people to pay, split and share their experiences.
