I want India to become the ADVENTURE SPORTS CAPITAL of the world.
In many countries, adventure sports are part of culture.
Kids learn rock climbing like they learn swimming.
Technical climbing gyms are common.
Outdoor courses have clear pathways to jobs in guiding, rescue, or outdoor education.
We are just at the beginning.
People think mountaineering is just about climbing big peaks abroad — Everest, Denali, Kilimanjaro but the truth is, India itself has so many mountains, rocks, rivers, and forests waiting to teach us something.
In the last 10 years, I’ve seen more young people get curious about trekking, climbing, rappelling, and rock climbing competitions.
Schools are slowly opening up to outdoor camps.
In India, we still have gaps:
— Not enough certified instructors in every region.
— Not enough affordable, safe training centres.
— Not enough respect for outdoor careers as a profession.
That’s one of the things we are pushing for @TARC and our academies in Bhongir and Gandikota.
I want more students to see adventure as a skill, not just a photo moment.
Because the outdoors has given me everything: confidence, patience, resilience.
It can do the same for so many more – if we build the right pathways.
A great win recently has been people like Nithin Kamath, Dilip Kumar backing and pushing sports centric companies through Rainmatter.
