About Founder

Hi this is Prabhakar Rao C.M, Aged 38, People call me Rao and off late, after initiated Go Green campaign, I am being addressed as Go Green Rao.. Working fulltime as a CIO with one of the leading Garments exporter company in Bangalore, taking care of their IT infrastructure. Born & Bought up In a place called Gangavathi also known as “Rice Bowl of Karnataka”  (390Km from Bangalore ) surrendered by paddy field greenery.

My Inspiration for starting this “Go Green Go Cycling” Campaign came from watching A Global warming documentary movie  “ An inconvenient Truth”  (http://www.climatecrisis.net/trailer/  directed by Davis Guggenheim, presented by former United States Vice President Al Gore.) This is when I started thinking about contributing my part time & my family time to the mother nature. I did choose Cycling to be the best mode of pay back in turns of saving all kinds of natural resources.   

2^nd September 2008 was the day I started Cycling to office. And did had couple of hiccups. Primarily, nonstop honking from Car/bus drivers behind me & non-cooperative motorcycle riders all together pushing me to rethink about choosing my option of Cycling. This is when I came up with a idea of designing the Go Green T-shirts which not only tells people I am cycling for a cause and also ensures to make people think about “Going Green”. 

Initially, I had created a Blog on Google page www.GoGreenGoCycling.blogspot.com followed by a Google Group called GGI-Club” on 19 Nov 2008 and started communicating effectively to all the group members. Since I wanted to reach out to more people that’s when I finally decided to own a separate domain hence created www.GoGreenGoCycling.org on 16 Jan 2009. 

Month after Month, our team size is growing bigger & bigger, creating a strong base of cycling Community.

Go Green and for a better tomorrow Go Cycling.

Best regards..

Prabhakar Rao C.M
