My Appeal!
Education is a fundamental right and no child should be deprived of basic education. I came across Gubbachi (a sparrow in Kannada), an NGO group playing a significant role in bridging the education gap and empowering these marginalized children to break the cycle of poverty and live with economic, social and personal dignity. I am supporting this dedicated team who have pledged to make a difference in the lives of these children. Let’s join hands in unlocking their bright future by giving back and contributing a bit to this noble cause. Education truly is a game changer that can transform lives.
I would also urge you to enroll for the run and make the fit India, real. Your every rupee counts to the needy and your every run matters to one self. Thank you for your support.
Jai hind!

What started off as running with friends on Marine drive, ran my first timed 10K in Bangalore in 2012 followed by a few HMs at SCMM Mumbai, Airtel Hyderabad & Kaveri Trail Marathon (HM). Between 2014 and 2022 ran the annual TCS 10Ks as home runs. Felt the need to tie my shoe laces and explore a bit more interesting runs. Completed the iconic Ladakh Marathon (HM) & Bangalore Marathon (HM) in 2022. Attempted my maiden Full Marathon at TMM 2023 and my first 30K ultra at Ooty in Apr 2203. The year 2023 has been just a splendid one. The year I completed my debut Full Marathon and Slamming a ProcamSlam the same year.
Running a full marathon was a dream and finishing a Procam Slam seemed impossible for me, until I did it. This reminds me of a quote by Nelson Mandela- “It always seems impossible until it's done”.
Indebtedness to my co-runners, JJs running, friends n family.
I always had this thought of giving back to the community. What better way than raising funds through this channel.
A big thank you to all those who have donated on this page.
