In a world where comfort often outweighs conscience, Mayank Jain, board member, IYCN took a different route. Leaving behind a comfortable life in Delhi, he boarded a train to Gaya—not in search of success, but in pursuit of significance. Over the last 12 years of his entrepreneurial journey, Mayank has not only impacted over 500,000 lives directly, but also played a key role in shaping three climate-resilient agriculture policies.

Motivated by a simple, yet profound thought—“If even the wealthy and powerful cannot escape suffering, what truly matters?”—he set out to build a future where urban populations enjoy organic, nutrient-rich food, and the farmers who grow it are empowered and uplifted.

We’re thrilled to share that Mayank’s inspiring journey has been featured in the new book: The Storypreneur’s Playbook: Fifteen Inspiring Stories to Unleash the Entrepreneur in You
A testament to how vision, grit, and compassion can create ripples of change.

Congratulations, Mayank! Your story continues to inspire a generation of changemakers.
