About Me

I believe in living with purpose—helping others through charity, embracing adventure, challenging myself, and exploring the world through travel. These experiences not only shape my character but also drive me to make a positive impact wherever I go.

Charity

Scholarship program | Aid drops | Donations

Empathy and a strong sense of social responsibility have always driven me to support and uplift others through various charitable initiatives.

In honor of my grandfather, I founded a scholarship fund in his hometown in India, which has enabled over 15 students to pursue university education.

Additionally, I have organized and led three food and clothing drives for refugee camps in Dunkirk and Calais, successfully delivering more than 150 tents, over 100 kg of clothing, and 200 kg of food. I also contribute annually to several charitable organizations in Switzerland, reinforcing my commitment to meaningful, long-term impact.

Adventure

Trekking | Skiing | Mountaineering | Skydiving

'The best view comes after the hardest climbs'

For me, the preparation, mindset and conquering ones fears to complete a challenge and have a lifetime experience is where I thrive.

A few of the most memorable ones for me in the last few years include climbing Kilimanjaro, trekking to Everest Base Camp, Skiing in the Alps, Skydiving in New Zealand and mountaineering 4000er's in Switzerland.

Euro 10k

Geneva | Paris | Madrid | Riga

Since 2021, I have signed myself up to a 10km run in a difference European city every year. Firstly, as a way to gain a unique perspective of a city, running through closed streets and meeting local folks. Secondly, as a small personal challenge to set myself and keep myself consistent in my fitness goals.

Travel

Travel Hacking | Organization

Travel and organization have always been passions of mine, allowing me to create unforgettable experiences both for myself and others. From coordinating tours for over 100 people on the paradise island of Mauritius to strategically planning and optimizing trips that have saved tens of thousands on some of the world’s most extraordinary travel experiences, I thrive on making travel seamless, memorable, and accessible.
