He Founded Mitti Ke Rang (MKR) in 2014 to address Gender Equality and widows empowerment, to provide them resources and support. He lost his father when he was 3 years old. As he grew older, he saw the challenges widow’s and their children experience.

So, He has envisioned a world where all the Single Women & Widows are accepted by their family and in a society where they will be free to (re)build their own Life.

He enjoy travelling as a Backpacker as it gives him a different and open minded view of the world. He traveled 25 States in India, and some countries.

Personally, travelling give him the opportunity to learn better about him, his limits and how to adapt himself in the entire situation. Professionally, it gives him the chance to meet, urge and interact with changemakers to work for the NGO he founded.
