In urban areas, pressure from the growing population, and the resulting congestion and pollution, have robbed children of spaces where they can play, mingle with peers, and get much-needed physical exercise. In a bid to provide young ones with safe and open spaces in cities, five architecture graduates from IIT Kharagpur are using scrap tyres to build play areas. They launched their company, Anthill Creations, in Bangalore last year. Souradeep Paul, co-founder of Anthill Creations, spoke to The Better India about what makes them unique and their plans for the future.
