Indian Couple’s Zero-Cost Home Garners 33 Million Instagram Views as They Expand Eco-Haven

Surplus harvest sales fund home upgrades, including a forthcoming treehouse, alongside a 100,000-tree planting drive across India.

Overview

  • Their Instagram reel under @lifeonroads_ has surpassed 33 million views, 3.3 million likes and 19,000 comments, pushing their follower count past 900,000.
  • The off-grid home integrates vegetable gardens, rice paddies, fish ponds, livestock, biogas, wet waste processing, solar panels, mushroom cultivation and beekeeping to eliminate daily living costs.
