Ilyas and Nadia are both sustainable living advocates — he runs an organic farm in the Aravalli foothills; she designs eco-friendly textiles in Jaipur. They met at a sustainability summit in Jaipur in 2021, immediately disagreed about the most effective approach to food systems, and spent the next three hours arguing productively over street-side chai. She called him boring. He said the same thing back. They met again the next day.
