Anushka Joshi was with Dharmalaya Institute from 2018 to 2021, and made extraordinary contributions during her time as Staff Architect, Assistant Manager, and Facilitator from 2019 to 2021. Among other accomplishments, she kept Dharmalaya open and growing during the unprecedented time of the covid-19 pandemic, enabling our local village staff to continue working safely and receiving income that was critical for the welfare of their families. We will always be grateful to Anushka for her dedication to the Institute, and we're happy to continue to have her as a part of the Dharmalaya family as she spreads her wings in the world.

Below is her bio from the time of her employment with us, for reference.

Anushka Joshi is an architect by profession, and by passion she is an entrepreneur, illustrator, seed giver, and minimalist lifestyle enthusiast. She is the founder of ConsciousKidPlanet, a platform where she tries to spread awareness, kindness and laughter through art and action.

She currently serves as architect and assistant manager at Dharmalaya Institute for Compassionate Living. She loves learning and working with communities and creating pure-hearted connections deeply rooted in compassion and kindness.

Anushka is an ardent nature child who seeks her refuge in the lap of the natural world while dreaming about creating an ecologically aware, kind, sensitive and peaceful world, one change of heart at a time.

She believes good hearty music, vegan food, love and laughter can bring us all together, and tries to create the beauty of it all in our world wherever and whenever possible.
