Mahajan and his team at Froge, (Friends For Reviving Our Green Earth) believe birding is one of the best ways to get closer to nature. Realising that people need to know how to identify and differentiate between residential and migratory birds, the businessman decided to double up as a keen learner of avifauna and provide Mumbaikars opportunities to educate themselves.
