EP37: {Arjun Majumdar & Sandhya Chandrasekharayya, Founders of IndiaHikes}
Hi Stars!
On this episode, I’m changing it up a little as I catch up with the founders of India Hikes. India’s premier hiking company that started way back in 2008. Started with the hope of making hiking accessible to more Indians, so that they can enjoy the nature that India has in abundance. Right from the western ghats to the mighty Himalayas.
Yes, this is not much of a tech conversation but a story that I wanted to share. Hope you enjoy it.
