Rural India's Reality

  • Rich cultural heritage at risk of being forgotten
  • Traditional knowledge and practices fading away
  • Limited economic opportunities for local communities
Rural India

Urban India's Disconnect

  • Yearning for authentic cultural experiences

Founder's Vision

Vision

Discovered the beauty of villages and the gap between urban and local communities.

Founder's Leap of Faith

Leap of Faith

Left a 5-year corporate marketing career after 6 years of solo travel to create a platform for local identities in the global community.

Founding Team

Two best friends, daughters of a farmer, found their passion for travel while exploring the diverse landscapes of India.

While in college, they launched "Backpacking Niva," aiming to create an impact and generate livelihood through travel.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, their initiative evolved into "Travel Talks," focusing on sharing experiences and insights.

Today, they have transformed that small project into an organization called Local Narratives, founded by Vaishnavi, while Nikita supports her from the US by managing the tech aspects.

"From backpacking adventures to building a platform that connects communities, our journey is a testament to the power of friendship and shared vision."
