From India. The land of diversity, a heaven for explorers. Been a successful professional in the field of Leadership Development. Now taken a break to explore life and different cultures. Recently joined as doctoral student in the field of Organizational Development in Fresno, US which is a step towards starting my flirting and exploration of life, cultures, people and places. Married, male, straight, clean.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am well traveled across India, as much as limited free time from corporate life allowed. However, with me quitting my job that paid a good salary, I feel free. I am going to use this opportunity to get out of my comfort zone, know people, be inspired, visit places, experience different cultures and bring learnings from all of these into my work of helping non profit organizations, academics and coporates in India. Surfer for life!!
