Can a Balanced Ecosystem Really Change Your Life Forever | Season 11 Episode 3 | Damroo - Amrita Tewari, Lalit Sharma

The video is about Project AMBIKA, a center for modern life in Almere Poort, Netherlands, that aims to redefine what such a center can be.

This is not a real estate venture, but a living ecosystem built on universal values of belonging, strength, and compassion.

Founders Amrita Tewari and Lalit Sharma Bhusal share their vision of blending culture, community, and inner purpose to create a space where people can truly feel at home.

Designed as a four-layer ecosystem, AMBIKA brings together business, culture, and spirituality:
🏢 Business Center – a garden-style workspace for modern professionals
🎭 Cultural Center – art, dance, music, and events promoting compassion and vegetarianism
🕉️ Temple – open daily for meditation, reflection, and spiritual connection

Built on three pillars — business, community, and inner well-being, each layer contributes to a stable, self-sustaining model.

Located in Almere, the youngest and greenest city of the Netherlands, AMBIKA is ideally positioned near Amsterdam, offering peace, accessibility, and opportunity.

The founders invite partners, investors, and donors to join their mission, building not just a center, but a movement for peace, harmony, and conscious living.
