Hello Couchsurfers, Greetings and Namaste! I am Anant from Mumbai, India. I am an investment banker in a top-class firm and an alumni of IIT Bombay where I worked on developing technologies for a sustainable future. In my endeavours to promote sustainability, I have worked in domains like Electric vehicles, Clean Energy, Solar Power and Green Fuel technologies. Along with being a passionate engineer, I am an avid supporter of gender equality. Networking is my hobby and travelling is my newfound passion. I believe in the tenets of spirituality and mindfulness. During my four years as an engineering student, I was a part of several student clubs and volunteering activities. Some of my achievements include: • An audience with the Prime Minister, President and Vice President of the Republic of India • Creating employment opportunities for over 13000 youth in rural India • Convening Asia's largest entrepreneurship summit with over 1 lakh footfall • Representing India as an Erasmus exchange student in Europe I am of the opinion that travelling is one of the best ways to understand the complex nature of mother earth. With a curiosity to explore different cultures, I have travelled in 40 countries in 3 different continents on a shoestring budget. Throughout my travel experiences, I have always learnt something unique from every individual I came across. My long term vision is to eliminate the boundaries between cultures and create this planet a better place to live for generations to come.😊
