I run an NGO named Vikraman Foundation and am associated with India's renowned institute TISS(Tata Institute of Social Sciences). My NGO works in establishing water harvesting structures in rural areas. I also run my garment business along with this. I am helpful and hands on. Love meeting people with different languages, regions and backgrounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took an initiative to supply purified drinking water to my ancestral village and nearby 5 more villages. In this i installed a RO plant which purified the brackish underground water also having fluorine in excess, which otherwise is a cause to many health issues in the area, to pure drinkable water. I was able to bring smiles to thousand's of people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will share the local culture with local touch with the guests and would be very happy to learn about their culture and lifestyle. I would be more than eager to learn their language as well.
