Overview
About Me
Hi there! I’m an HR professional working in diverse industries, including ceramics, cement, and greenfield projects across India and the UAE. I’ve worked in a variety of organizational setups, from startups to large PSUs, and I’m passionate about building company culture and people management systems.
Recently, I’ve embraced the idea of being a digital nomad and love combining my professional life with my passion for travel. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me exploring new cultures, hiking through beautiful landscapes, or trying out local cuisine. I’m also always up for a good conversation over a cup of coffee!
I’m excited to meet like-minded travellers and hosts and look forward to sharing stories, experiences, and making great memories.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe that the best way to truly experience a place is through the people who live there. Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity to connect with locals, learn about their culture, and see the world from a different perspective.
As someone who loves meaningful conversations and new experiences, I find that Couchsurfing helps me break out of the typical tourist routine and form genuine connections. Whether it’s sharing travel stories, learning something new, or even cooking a meal together, I enjoy the sense of community that Couchsurfing fosters. Plus, it’s a great way to give back and offer the same experience to fellow travellers when I’m back home! It is like travelling sitting on your couch.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy a diverse range of music, depending on my mood and what I’m doing. From relaxing with some smooth jazz or acoustic folk to energizing myself with rock or dancing on techno-house music. I love exploring different genres. I’m always up for recommendations and enjoy experiencing the musical culture of the places I visit!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Balancing professional growth with my passion for travel has been an exciting journey, and I’ve learned so much from both experiences.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach:
I can share insights on mu professional journey. If you're interested in business or leadership topics, I’d love to discuss those too! I can also teach you some Hindi or share tips on exploring India.
Learn:
I’m always eager to learn about new cultures, local customs, and the stories behind the places I visit. Whether it’s learning a few words in a new language, trying local recipes, or hearing about your personal experiences, I’m all in! I’d also love to improve my photography and cooking skills.
Share:
I can share my travel experiences and tips from the places I’ve visited, especially around India. If you’re a fellow traveller, I’d love to exchange stories and recommendations! And, of course, I’m happy to share a meal or some great conversation over coffee.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can offer great conversations about travel, culture, and my experiences working across different industries. If you're interested, I can share insights on HR, business management, or even help you fine-tune your resume! I also love to cook, so I’d be happy to prepare an Indian meal or introduce you to some dishes from my travels. And, of course, I’m always down for sharing travel stories and tips, or just spending time together exploring your city.
