I have grown up across India in 5 different cities thanks to my father's job. Now I live alone in Mumbai working at a finance start up trying to digitize every day cash transaction in our country.

I enjoy the company of people from different countries because those stores are new to me and they help me get fresh ideas to implement both personally and professionally.

As a true Gemini, I am laid-back, open minded, enjoy peaceful debates on various stand points of life, and love experimenting all the time.

For guests, since I work & live alone, I like people with a well-prepared plan so that I don't have to constantly worry about them. I am free during the late evenings &night to accompany you to places. I do have friends working at other start-ups who drop by often to chill. Also, I prefer to host people between Friday- Sunday as I get to spend more time. I don't mind hosting during the weekday for a short stay. Feel free to ping me. I promise you a reply.

Staying with me, you are likely to learn about the history, culture, and politics of India and get to compare it with contemporary India trying to make itself a developed country. Multiple stories on youth struggling to climb the ladder of poverty, social stigma, etc. is something I can share.

In return, I hope you open up to me about your side of the story and share as much you feel comfortable :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet travelers, share experiences, learn about cultures and cuisine. I am more inclined to host people with some artistic background.

Interests

Music, Food, Art, Culture, History, Start ups, Business, Politics and the meaning of life in general

Music, Movies, and Books

Alternate music, Big movie buff! I will watch any movie in any language as long as there are English subtitles.

Reading books has reduced drastically over the past 2 years due to work but some books like The Alchemist, The Winner Stands Alone, Set the House in Order have deeply impacted my life in a positive way.

- Jumped off a cliff 35 ft high into Ganga river (Hrishikesh, Uttrakhand, India)
- Paragliding from 2500 meters high mountain edge (Gangtok, Sikkim, India)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge about language, Culture, history and politics of India. Proficient in Indian cuisine, so be ready to taste some good desi( Hindi word for domestic) food. Teach you about digital marketing, product management, English. I used to write satire before, I get funnier by the hour :)
