About Me

I have been living in Bengaluru for 4 years now. Here, I run a tech company called Shopflo. I have travelled to ~30 countries and have created wonderful memories meeting people on the road.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music I like would include classic rock, post rock, progressive rock and a bit of alt metal. I listen to all kinds of music very much but this quite sums the part I stick with most of the time - God is an Astronaut, Glass Animals, Alterbridge, Mogwai, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Anoushka Shankar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled with a bunch of strangers in a campervan across California. It opened me up as a person and I loved the few days I spent with folks from Israel, US and Germany.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how India and the south Asia as a whole is a much different world from the west. I can teach you piano, singing, languages I know, playing a guitar or drums, quick pencil sketching.

I wish to learn about people, since there are so many in the world already and I know each one of them has a different thing to share. I wish to learn different languages, for I believe it says a lot about the understanding of their culture.

I wish to share my perspective of the world around us - however philosophical it may sound, it is guaranteed to be an amazing conversation!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Insightful stories about India, culture, history, lifestyle and the world in general. I can share a really nice experience in Mumbai/Bangalore or any place in India for that matter, which even I would love to visit! I could cook something if we have time.
