Meet your Facilitators

Mr. Keku
Director, LifeUpNext
Nature & wildlife, adventure & survival,
conservation & sustainability enthusiast

My stint with Nature is 40 years long. From trips to the forest with
my father, to exploratory treks, conservation activities, volunteer
work & census programs at various wildlife reserves across the
country, I have been connected with Nature all my life. I worked
extensively for vulture conservation & research at the Panna Tiger
Reserve. I conduct workshops for children, adults & organisations
on various topics like nature & biodiversity, essential skills,
sustainability & self enrichment. Outdoors is what I call "Home".

Why I think you should join the course?

To rekindle awareness, sensitivity and understanding towards
Nature and all life forms, that we humans lost in the process of
trying to reach the pinnacle of our potential.

Mr. Jatin Adlakha

Founder & Director, Wander Gupt
Outdoor Experiential Educator

I am a Comp. Sc. engineer from BITS and a former Business

Analyst, who quit his job to pursue a career in the Outdoors. A
solo trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp, a 3700kms biking trip to
Himalayas lasting 81 days and several other exploratory treks that
I led speak of my love for nature and the outdoors. I have been
working with students and Corporates on Outdoor based
learning programs on various values like empathy, compassion,
team building, leadership, communication, etc. My vision is to
connect people to Outdoors in unforeseen ways, beyond just
travel and tourism.

Why I think you should join the course?

To understand and appreciate the interconnectedness of all
living beings and to marvel at the grand ecological design.
