Rahul Bagga, founder, is a successful artist in the Hindi film industry and theatre. Since launching his career in 1999, he has showcased his acting talent across numerous stage performances, films, OTT platforms, and television series.

Rahul was an aspiring Chartered Accountant before entering the film industry, but he chose a different path that led him to Mumbai to pursue his dreams. Until the 2020 pandemic, everything was going smoothly. However, as they say, “a blessing in disguise,” COVID-19 turned out to be Rahul’s second chance. He stepped into the organic agriculture industry with a renewed purpose. He completed a certified course offered by the National Horticulture Research and Development Foundation, where he studied mushroom cultivation. Following a joint venture in Uttarakhand, he returned to Mumbai to gain deeper knowledge and experience.

While filming in Lucknow, he met Dr. Manish Mishra, a senior scientist at ICAR-CISH. What began as a chance encounter soon developed into a strong mentorship. Together, they embarked on a journey to build a sustainable society — driven by creativity and purpose — through the vision of Art Village.
