Meet The Founders

Two school friends who saw a world in need of change - and chose to start with themselves.

How it all Began

Born from brotherhood, not business.

As we celebrate the launch of our website, here is a real conversation about how this mission began, why it matters, and our vision for the future of this community.

Thank you to everyone for being part of the change.

Love,

Rohan & Tom

-The Voice of the Mission

As a boy, my nickname was Mowgli. Always outdoors, barefoot, obsessed with animals and the natural world. From as early as I can remember, I’ve had a deep connection with nature and a unique ability to build trust with animals. None more so than with my black Labrador, Rufus.

When Rufus said his final goodbye, something shifted in me. Amidst the pain and reflection, I realised just how much he had taught me - about kindness, presence, and life itself. His passing wasn’t the end. It was the beginning.

I made him a promise: to honour his legacy by dedicating my life to being a voice for the voiceless. That promise became The Mission Planet. But this mission didn’t come from strategy. It came from a belief that real change starts with how we care, and how we live.

As I grew older, social media became a powerful force shaping how people saw themselves and the world. But it always felt disconnected. My response was to help others reconnect with their body, mind, and reality.

That path led me into health and wellness, where I learned that true strength is holistic, physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Now, through The Mission Planet, I bring that same energy to something bigger.

Because real change doesn’t start out there. It starts with you.

-The Eyes of the Mission

For as long as I can remember, I’ve seen the world through a lens. Always drawn to capturing moments, places, and people in a way that reveals their depth and beauty. Growing up in an animal loving household, it felt natural that my love for dogs and nature would eventually meet my passion for film and storytelling.

When Rohan shared the idea for The Mission Planet, it felt like a perfect alignment. Blending my craft as a filmmaker with a shared desire to make a real difference for animals, people, and the planet.

For me, picking up a camera isn’t just about documenting, it’s about telling stories that matter, about amplifying voices that don’t always get heard, about shining a light where it’s needed most.

In a digital world that often feels noisy or superficial, I try to use my work as a way to cut through, to create films that feel honest, human, and connected. Every frame I shoot for The Mission Planet is driven by the same goal: to help people feel something real, and to inspire them to take action.

That’s what this journey is about for me, blending creativity with purpose, and building something bigger than ourselves.
