India

I have done some interesting projects across different domains during this break. 1. Have picked up a photography project which took me to Lake Como, Italy. Travelled across 4 different cities in Italy for the same. Backpacked across 5 different countries and spent close to a month in this part of the world. 2. Travelled across 4 cities in the Middle East with Dubai as a base location for a photography and consulting project. I spent around 1.5 months in this region. 3. Have consulted with the Govt of India - Ministry of Culture, Madhya Pradesh for the launch of a massive spiritual gathering in Omkareshwar. 4. Have consulted with Bloom in Green (India's first-ever transformational festival) for the 3rd time since they launched in 2018. 5. Have co-ordinated the launch of a manufacturing factory in Hyderabad. 6. A lot more travel & tinkering on different ideas!
