In this episode of Everyday Changemakers theme of Get Set Green, we are joined by Soumyadip, a Kolkata-based plogger whose journey is a powerful reminder that sometimes life’s pauses can lead to new purpose.

There are moments that disrupt everything we’ve planned forcing us to slow down, step away, and start again. For Soumyadip, that moment meant leaving behind his startup and moving to Kolkata to recover and rebuild. But in that pause, he found something unexpected a new way to look at life, community, and the environment.

What began as a personal shift gradually turned into action. Through plogging, mindful routines, and consistent effort, Soumyadip started contributing to cleaner public spaces and inspiring those around him to do the same. His story reflects a deeper truth: sustainability doesn’t always start with big ideas it often begins in life’s quiet, uncertain moments.

This conversation explores resilience, perspective, and how small, intentional actions can create real impact. From navigating change to building purpose through everyday habits, it’s a reminder that even in difficult times, we can choose to create something meaningful for ourselves and for the world around us.
