One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Boat ride in firefly swamp at Selangor
Briefly met mick jagger after the 40 licks concert in mumbai & sang with Rod Stewart in goa
The Fish Tail Lodge in the middle of Pokhra lake
Flew thru the Himalayas to get to a town called Jomsom, Nepal - the whole town runs parallel to the length of the airport
Wakeboarding at Maafushi Island

Teach, Learn, Share

Esoteric food spots of Mumbai - everything from restaurants and bars to streetfood

Well versed with India and its travel destinations so I can highlight places to visit, people to meet and how you can get there in style(luxury) or in economy mode(backpackers)

I can guide you with starting your business in India, identifying the right market, location, real estate, marketing plan, people to recruit, working with local laws and smooth execution of your product/service launch.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A room or a bed (check with me first)
A real cup of coffee (no freeze dried, please)
