With growing technological advancements and urbanisation, when two Bengaluru-based moms Lakshmi Kaushik and Sangeetha Arjun noticed their sons growing away from nature, they founded The Looroo Club. “We didn’t know that playing in the parks, and engaging with nature with mud-caked hands and clothes would become a luxury only a few children can enjoy today. It was something we grew up doing, and took for granted. With the absence of as many open spaces and parks, the current generations are bound indoors. We founded this community to primarily introduce our sons to nature-inspired, play-based activities. Before we knew it, it became very popular among other children,” Kaushik shares.
