Having lost my heart to the Wild, I decided to pursue the travel, wildlife and nature photography full time after quitting my regular job.
The website offers the glimpses of nature and wildlife from different parts of India that I managed to visit in last decade.
Though, traveling to far away places high up in Himalayan mountains or innermost pockets of North East Indian forests have their own adventure and thrill, I also like to spend time exploring the wildlife in and around my cities too.

Beyond capturing stunning natural visuals, I try to use my photography as a powerful tool for raising awareness and fostering a deep sense of empathy for wildlife. By showcasing the beauty and vulnerability of the India's Flora and Fauna, I hope to inspire individuals to become proactive stewards of the environment and champions for conservation. This led me to leading the Outreach and Awareness session for locals and school children sharing their space with the wildlife around Pune through NGO 'The Grasslands Trust'.

I think, photographs has the power to be the agent of change and I am using this medium to document and bring out the beauty of natural biodiversity to the common man.

For last few years, I am conducting photography tours to bring in more people to learn the art and ethics of nature and wildlfie photography sharing my knowledge and experience.
I am also attached with the educational institutions teaching the craft of photography to the students pursuing their formal degree into photography courses.
