ABOUT ME

Internationally recognised film maker and photographer. My feature film has had a 120+ screening in 31 countries. Ivy league grad and currently on a startup adventure :)

Early on in life, I realized things were a bit different for me. My mom's father was English, my dad was a Hindu and I have lived in France, Singapore and several places across India. These experiences have made me extremely tolerant to people from different cultures and given me the natural ability to respect opinions that differ from mine.

Random facts: Moved school 12 times, state-level basketball player, was the vocalist for a band, don't like stability, corporate jobs bore me, love a spur-of-the-moment trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I run two meetup.com groups in Bangalore:

This group organizes fun events such as kite flying, frisbee, group movie and eat out experiences, paintball, etc and provides a great opportunity to meet new people.
