Hasiru Farms marked National Road Safety Month alongside Republic Day with a launch day that felt less like a conventional event and more like a public movement—one designed to connect the choices we make on the road with the choices we make on land.
On January 26 in Bengaluru, the brand unveiled VRUKSHA, its latest theme-based managed farmland project, through a 77-kilometre cyclothon and a 77-tree plantation program. Together, these two actions carried a single message: progress has meaning only when it is mindful—of human life, public spaces, and the ecological systems that support us.
The launch centered on responsibility in motion and stewardship in place. Cycling became a symbol of disciplined mobility and respect for the road. Planting trees became a symbol of legacy—giving back more than we take, and treating land not as a commodity, but as a living trust.

Launch Day at a Glance
The day’s experience was intentionally built around participation, not spectacle. Instead of unveiling VRUKSHA through stage lights and formality, the team brought people together through a shared journey—moving from the city into the landscape that VRUKSHA represents.
The launch was marked by two defining actions:
- A 77-kilometre cyclothon, beginning at HSR Layout and concluding at the VRUKSHA project site off Kanakapura Road
- A 77-tree plantation program, commemorating 77 years of the Republic with 77 living symbols rooted into the land
The cyclothon was organized in association with the Avant Welfare Foundation team, reflecting a shared intent to amplify road safety awareness through action, not slogans. The journey from city streets to open land also served as a metaphor: from speed to responsibility, from constant rush to rooted living.
Cycling for Safety, Riding with Purpose
National Road Safety Month is not just a calendar observance—it is a reminder that every road is a shared space. Every journey involves trust: trust that others will follow rules, maintain awareness, respect lanes, slow down when needed, and value life above convenience.
The 77-kilometre cyclothon carried this message in the simplest, most visible way possible: by placing responsibility at the center of movement.
Cycling demands presence. It requires attention to one’s surroundings, awareness of others on the road, and discipline over impulse. Unlike enclosed travel, cycling does not create distance from reality; it asks you to feel the road, the weather, the pace, and the risks. That’s why a cyclothon can be a powerful symbol for road safety—not because it replaces other forms of travel, but because it demonstrates what mindful mobility looks like.
This ride highlighted a principle that applies well beyond transport: progress must be conscious. Whether we are navigating traffic, planning our daily routines, or investing in long-term assets, the mindset matters. When responsibility becomes optional, safety becomes fragile. And when safety becomes fragile, communities pay the price.
The riders did not ride merely to reach a destination. The 77-kilometre distance itself was symbolic—mirroring the 77th Republic Day—and reinforcing a theme of duty. Republic Day is about responsibility to the nation; road safety is about responsibility to one another. Combining the two is not a branding gesture. It is a statement: if we can honor duty once a year in ceremony, we can honor it every day in how we behave in public spaces.
The group dynamic also carried meaning. Cycling together fosters coordination, patience, and mutual awareness—qualities that, if practiced consistently on roads, reduce risk for everyone. In that sense, the ride was not simply “for fitness” or “for fun.” It was a live demonstration of what it means to move with care.
For many participants, the ride also became a transition—an intentional shift from the high-speed intensity of urban routines to the slower rhythm of land. As the city thinned and the route opened, the experience became less about mileage and more about mindset. The destination was a project site, yes—but also an idea: that we can choose a different relationship with time, with place, and with responsibility.
77 Trees for 77 Years of the Republic
When the riders arrived at VRUKSHA, the energy of motion transitioned into the stillness of planting. That shift—movement into rootedness—was the point.
The 77-tree plantation program was designed as a living commemoration of the Republic’s 77 years. Each tree planted on the land symbolized one year, one chapter, one reminder that legacy is not declared—it is grown.
Planting a tree is a simple act, but it carries weight when done with intention. It is not a short-term performance; it is a long-term promise. A planted sapling asks for patience, care, and continuity. In a world that increasingly rewards speed and surface, tree planting brings us back to first principles: growth takes time, and stewardship is a daily practice.
This act also reflected the deeper philosophy behind VRUKSHA—an approach where land ownership is framed as stewardship, not consumption. In a managed farmland model, that distinction matters. The question is not merely “What do I own?” but also “How do I care for what I own?” A tree plantation program is a reminder that land has a living dimension. It is not a blank canvas for extraction. It is a system that responds to care, consistency, and respect.
Participants—cyclists, guests, and the team—planted together across the landscape. There was no barrier between “hosts” and “attendees.” The moment belonged to everyone. That shared act created a quiet sense of unity: people from the city placing their hands into soil, not for a photo, but for a future.
The tree plantation also strengthened the launch’s central narrative: the choices we make—how we travel, how we live, how we invest—shape what we leave behind. A tree is one of the clearest metaphors for this truth. It grows when we do the right thing consistently, even when no one is watching.
A Rooted Launch Experience, Not a Conventional Event
VRUKSHA was introduced through a curated experience that prioritized calm, clarity, and connection. Instead of compressing everything into speeches and formalities, the day unfolded at a human pace—allowing people to observe, ask questions, and absorb the landscape.
The launch experience centered on three themes: hospitality, immersion, and transparency.
Hospitality showed up in the way people were welcomed—not as leads, but as guests. The tone was warm, grounded, and deliberately unhurried. The refreshment experience drew inspiration from rural hosting traditions—simple, nourishing, and familiar.
Immersion came through time on land. Participants were encouraged to walk the project site, breathe the air, notice the differences in temperature and sound compared to the city, and experience the environment as it is—without distractions. This is a subtle but important point: projects like VRUKSHA are not meant to be understood only through brochures or presentations. They are meant to be felt.
Transparency came through open interactions and structured discussions. The team created space for direct conversations, clarifications, and project-level questions. Interested participants also had access to booking conversations in an organized format—without pressure, and with room to reflect.
To keep the experience simple, the day’s flow included only a few key touchpoints, each designed to serve a clear purpose:
- Meet-and-greet with the team
- Time to relax and walk the land
- A detailed presentation on the vision and the VRUKSHA concept
- Guided plantation walks through existing groves and on-site development areas
- Q&A and participant conversations
- A shared community lunch
Rather than trying to impress through noise, the launch aimed to communicate through coherence. The setting, the route, the trees, the pace—all aligned with the same theme: rooted living.
What VRUKSHA Represents
VRUKSHA has been conceived as an “earthen antidote” to urban fatigue and disconnected living. In practice, this means creating a managed farmland ecosystem that supports land ownership while reducing the friction that often comes with long-term maintenance, planning, and upkeep.
The project’s theme—“Power in Every Root”—is more than a tagline. It points to a worldview: roots are strength, not limitation. Roots make growth possible. They anchor life into systems that can sustain it. When people feel disconnected, they often seek more speed, more consumption, more stimulation. VRUKSHA positions itself as a different answer: slow down, reconnect, and build a relationship with land that is meaningful and long-term.
At its heart, VRUKSHA is about bridging two worlds: the modern urban lifestyle and the timeless intelligence of nature-led living. The project brings structure to the idea of farmland ownership through planning, on-ground systems, and a managed approach that supports continuity. It also brings a community dimension—spaces designed for learning, wellness, and shared experiences, not just individual ownership.
One of the most distinctive ideas associated with VRUKSHA is the concept of naturally aligned living spaces, including mud-home-inspired elements such as Mannina Mane. Mud-based architecture is not positioned as a novelty; it is positioned as wisdom—cooler, breathable, and more harmonious with the environment when designed correctly. It signals a return to materials and methods that respect climate, land, and the human body.
VRUKSHA’s planned shared spaces also emphasize intergenerational value. Rooted living is not only for the present buyer; it is for families, children, and communities that benefit from nature-based childhood experiences, open-air learning, and time away from screens and congestion. The launch day itself reflected this intention: it was built to be participatory, outdoors, and community-driven.
In this way, VRUKSHA is not simply about owning a plot. It is about joining an ecosystem—one where land, people, and long-term planning work together.
The Symbolism of “77” and Why It Matters
The number 77 appeared in three places on launch day: the 77th Republic Day, the 77-kilometre ride, and the 77 trees planted. This repetition was not accidental; it was an anchor.
In a world saturated with marketing, meaning can become diluted. Numbers and themes can feel gimmicky when they exist only for attention. But when a theme shows up in action—when people ride, plant, and gather around it—it becomes real.
Here, “77” functioned as a bridge between national duty and personal responsibility. Republic Day is a reminder that freedom is held together by duty. Road safety is a reminder that public life depends on responsibility. Environmental stewardship is a reminder that the future depends on how we treat what we have.
By making the theme physical—kilometres ridden, trees planted—the launch translated values into visible proof. Participants could feel the effort, the coordination, and the shared purpose. That is what gives the day credibility: it wasn’t a message delivered from a stage; it was a message carried on the road and placed into soil.
A Message from Hasiru Farms
“Road safety is about responsibility. Republic Day is about duty. VRUKSHA is about legacy,” said a spokesperson from Hasiru Farms. “By combining these values into one movement, we wanted to remind people that the choices we make — how we travel, how we live, and how we invest — shape the future we leave behind.”
This statement captures the core intent of the launch. It is an invitation to view everyday decisions as meaningful. It also reflects the brand’s broader philosophy: that projects should grow beyond real estate and become ecosystems—of life, learning, and legacy.
The launch was designed to leave participants with a feeling, not just information: a sense that land can be approached differently, that community can be built with intention, and that responsibility can be practiced in public and private life alike.
