The Alternative Information

At The Alternative, we strive to make sustainability a way of life through conversations, everyday choices and practices that can lend itself to positive social impact. From food, travel and parenting to social innovation and issues of public interest, we cover everything that it takes to move towards better living, better business and better societies. Not to mention the occasional furry cat video to give the whole thing a shot in the arm. It isn’t about what we “ought to do” so that the planet can survive, but what we would “like to do” – for ourselves, for our children, for our health, for our interests and passions and for that unique incredible experience that makes perfect sense to our today as much as it does for our tomorrow. Our goal is to get people thinking, discussing and doing. And we can see it working: we are India’s largest magazine on sustainable living and social change. Our platform today is powered by over 500 contributors (and growing) from across professions and age groups who are taking action everyday – engaged citizens, school and college students, parents, artists, entrepreneurs, businesses, corporates, non-profits and policy makers.
