Biosphere: How a Tamil Nadu Ca Built a Rs 3 Crore Business Making Bio Pools

Vikash Kumar, a chartered accountant from Coimbatore, sought to recreate his idyllic childhood experiences by building a natural, chemical-free swimming pond for his son. Inspired by the simple village ponds of his past, Vikash constructed an eco-friendly swimming pool at his farmhouse, using nothing but natural materials. This personal project evolved into Biosphere, a thriving business crafting bespoke bio swim ponds suited to Indian climates. Amid the success and financial windfall, what Vikash treasures most is the chance to offer nature's lost essence to others. "People come to me not just for a pool... they come for a piece of nature they thought was lost." This story speaks to the themes of nostalgia, sustainability, and the transformative power of childhood memories rekindled into innovation.
