About Me

Adventure lover from India. Engineer by education, Entrepreneur by profession and a sportsman by heart.

While out of work, I travel, I read, I drive, I play. Love to meet new interesting people and share experiences. Open for all kinds of crazy stuff.

I am a big fitness and health freak person. Love to maintain athletic body and inspire others around me to do the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

World is big enough to experience alone. I love meeting new people, hear out their stories, feel their experiences, learn a great deal from them and give them back the same in return. Moreover, my curiosity demands me to know about cultures from different countries. Their history, economics, politics, day-to-day life and what not. There is not a subject I wouldn't like to know about.

Couch surfing helps me to build a long lasting friendship with like-minded people.

Interests

I love adventure. I have trekked in Himachal and western ghats of India. Learned how to surf in Srilanka. Done certified scuba diving in Malaysia (Semporna islands). Experienced La Tomatina in spain. Rafted in Ganges and Kashmir. Did mountain biking in Ladakh. Paraglided and Parasailed in Goa. Snorkelled in Lakshadweep.

I love to play sports. All of them. Good in Squash.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love movies based on real stories. Not a big movie buff though.

I love to read. Auto biographies and Biographies are my favourites. Few of my favourites:
- Steve Jobs
- I too had a dream
- Narendra Modi - The man The times
- The diary of a young girl

Other great books I love:
- Fountainhead
- The industries of the future
- The Hard thing about hard things
- Zero to one
- An intelligent investor
- Shiva trilogy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have cycled 40km at world's highest motorable road (Khardungla pass in Ladakh, Kashmir) at close to 0 degree celsius.

However, One thing which I think of more highly is making a change. I have done amazing things when it comes to adventure and fun, but one thing which surpasses all of them was the company I founded in 2014. An eye popping journey full of breathtaking experiences which I bet is a better than many fictional stories out there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I am good in Squash and Mathematics :P. And always super enthusiast to give free lessons in them. Ofcourse anything linked to India is also on the table.

Learn - Cooking is on the top of the list. Would like to learn about the local cuisines and their recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share - Top 3 things which comes to my mind:
1. Jokes (nothing better than good humour I guess ;) )
2. Experiences (travel and startup ones are at the top of the list)
3. Memories (as they say things which you remember the most at your deathbed are not the ones you have bought but the memories you have shared)

Malaysia, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
