Helping the Indian people have access to hundreds of hikes, treks and nature exploration is an ambitious, constantly evolving vision that has seen amazing success for the IndiaHikes organization.  In this episode, I am talking with Lakshmi Selvakumaran, director of training and research and she shares the origin story of IndiaHikes, as well as details about who they serve, how they build the culture of their team of leaders and much more.   

When I discovered them through Instagram, I thought it was a 'trekking company' that catered to foreign tourists who hiked and climbed in these incredible mountains, but I soon realized that their mission was very different from that initial impression.  Honestly, the more I see and learn about what they do, and how they do it and how they are now expanding to serve schools and children, the more I am in awe of their attention to detail and hard work.  

I am impressed, and thankful and excited to share this interview with you all.   

Please enjoy Episode #49.
