Krishna

Founder of Unity Transport Service

Krishna passed away on May 29th, 2024 following a stroke two years earlier

An Early Connection with Auroville

Krishna was born in 1969 in Kuilapalayam village, close to Auroville. He soon came to live in New Creation Boarding. Being an enthusiastic and active young chap open to learning many things, he rapidly got involved in community life. He first joined Aureka and worked with Slyvio. Then André Tardeil gave him an old Ambassador car to drive people around in Auroville. This seeded an interesting idea: to start a transport service for the community. It was the birth of New Creation Transport Service which he started together with André and Mani. It was a demanding job. Krishna worked day and night to offer this important service.

UTS Taxi

In 2007 he left New Creation Transport Service to start Unity Transport Service. Over the years, his continuous hard work took a toll on his frail health - in March 2022, he suffered a stroke and was bedridden for almost two years, being taken care of by his wife and daughters. He passed away on May 29th. His body was buried the same day at the Auroville Burial Ground.
