I've been working in the Travel and Tourism Industry for over 27 years. I have an MBA in International Business & Marketing, and I've successfully led startup initiatives, managed various projects, and become skilled in people management. Instead of becoming a pilot as my family expected, I chose to explore the world of Tourism. I started my journey in Delhi, a city with a family history in Civil Services and education. Combining my global travels, education, and diverse experiences, I wanted to change the tourism scene in India. When Delhi was losing its appeal to travelers, I introduced the idea of experiential tourism. I focused on making a distinction between tourists and travelers by offering unique walking and culinary tours. Leaving my position as Executive Vice President in a global organization to follow my passion wasn't easy. Even my family was skeptical. But I was determined to show authentic experiences to fellow travelers. In a testament to the resonance of this vision, two former bosses and cherished childhood friends—Raj, Anju, Vivian, and Varun—joined me in this mission, elevating it into a collective endeavor to champion experiential travel in India. My love for photography and travel inspires me to explore new places on foot, building connections with local communities. One of my favorite memories is crossing the equator during a trip to Kenya. As a team we strongly believe that locals are the true custodians of their neighborhoods. Rooted in Delhi, we are passionate about showcasing the city's rich heritage, vibrant culture, and delicious local food to our guests. Through carefully planned guided walks, we aim to provide immersive experiences that capture the essence of the city. With a deep passion and commitment to delivering exceptional experiences, we consider ourselves a valuable asset to the Travel and Tourism Industry. Our life's work is proof of the transformative power of immersive tourism, and we hope our journey inspires others to follow their hearts. I've won several accolades for my focused efforts while working for more than two decades in the Travel & Tourism Industry. I was also recognized and received a SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD in Dec 2004 at Los Angeles, California.  I have also been trained at LSG Sky Chef in Hong Kong and Tokyo Flight Kitchen in Japan while setting up catering department for Japan Airlines in India. Have been awarded Traveler's Choice 2022 Award with Top 10 Best of the Best Experiences in Asia, among 10 BEST EXPERIENCES IN INDIA and Best of The Best Around the World by one of the largest travel sites in the world. This latest award is a further recognition and appreciation of the high quality of my tours and customer satisfaction. Was earlier awarded us the Certificate of Excellence 2013 to 2020 with 5 stars rating for eight consecutive years and am in their Hall of Fame for the last two consecutive years. Was also recognized by the Minister of Tourism as The Best Walking Tour Company in India I do not work as guide or an escort, I work as local friend. Hence, do not offend me by offering tips. I am passionate native Indian friend, who love to share my passion and love for my city.

The Old Delhi area which includes old mansions (havelis), bazaars, colurful shops, thousands of people, temples, mosques, chaotic yet working traffic and more is unlike everything you will experience anywhere. Photographers love capturing the daily lives of people and soul stirring sights which seems so quaint and out of reality in a modern metro city like Delhi. The sights of shops in Old Delhi, which are a mix of new businesses and old traditions, is hard to find anywhere else.
