Sangeetha Arjun is a nutritionist who accidentally discovered her passion for working with children. She worked at a beautiful school in South Goa, nestled in a coconut grove and bordered by a lovely river. Her days were filled with interactions with children from around the world, reading stories by the sea, counting shells, taking barefoot walks, and learning through nature-led experiences and play. Upon returning to Bengaluru, she wanted to recreate a space for children to learn alongside nature. She aimed to bring the outdoors into the classroom, giving children the opportunity to explore the magic of nature! Currently, she runs a beautiful outdoor restaurant with her husband in Bangalore, she’s working on becoming a certified Play-Based Educator, has two sons, 6 and 3 years old, and absolutely loves curating experiences at The LooRoo Club!

Lakshmi Kaushik grew up on the outskirts, surrounded by vast outdoor spaces that nurtured her deep connection to nature. Gardening alongside her grandmother instilled in her a profound appreciation for the earth’s wonders. This upbringing laid the foundation for her career as a master of architecture in design and an artist, seamlessly blending natural elements into her work. From sustainable designs to intricate papercut art, her creations reflect her love for the outdoors. Co-founding The LooRoo Club allowed Lakshmi to share this passion with her 7 year-old son, Rudra, as they explore and learn together. Beyond the confines of city life, Lakshmi envisions building a farm with her husband, merging her architectural vision with his agricultural expertise, to create a haven where nature’s tranquility fosters their and connection with the land.
