Author · Publisher · Speaker · Explorer & Trekker · Educator · Consultant & Mentor
I turn popular science, history, travel, military tech & history, human courage and self-development into stories — for readers, audiences, students, and the children of the Uttarakhand Himalayan villages.
I have spent my working life doing one thing in many forms : taking knowledge seriously, and telling it well. As an author and editor. As a publisher. On stage, on trekking trails, on screens — and on classroom floors in the villages of Himalayas in Uttarakhand.

Public speaking
I speak about the things I keep returning to — curiosity and science, travel and history, the valour of India's bravest, and the discipline of learning on your own.

Jignasa means the urge to know. The Jignasa Club helps children honour that urge — through stories, questions, observation and real-world thinking. We don't teach children what to think. We help them fall in love with thinking.
