You may never heard of Anilesh Ahuja, but his story of an immigrant who makes good is very familiar to the American landscape.

Anilesh left his native India to accompany his father to New Hampshire at the tender age of 14.

But like millions of immigrants before him, Anilesh worked hard at school to assimilate the language and culture, and fast forward a few years, he was a student of economics at a distinguished Ivy League school, the University of Pennsylvania, post-high school.

After obtaining his degree, he became a fairly wealthy man in America, working as a high-level employee at several businesses, and creating a few of his own in the United States.

What is unusual about Anilesh Ahuja, is that unlike many immigrants who make good, Anilesh Ahuja returned to his native India eventually to help create paradise.

Anilesh’s latest adventure is building a sort of Garden of Eden paradise in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, formerly known as Allahabad.

While many might perceive India as full of poverty and quite dirty, the plain fact is that pockets of India are quite wealthy and very forward-thinking.

Anilesh, who is on the board of directors of the 200-plus-acre development known as Solitare Valley, notes that nearly one-fourth of the development is open green space, and through the use of solar panels, a community electrical grid, and water harvesting systems, Solitare Valley is one of the most advanced ecological real estate developments in the world.

In this way, Anilesh is sort of returning the debt of gratitude to the nation that he loves, by helping develop a small slice of paradise.
