I am a naturalist/wildlife guide and a tour operator by profession and wildlife photographer by passion. Based in Raipur, Chhattisgarh in central India gives lot of opportunity to visit many wild places. Central India is home to more than half of the world's wild tigers, above 500 species of birds and nearly 100 species of mammals.

Being able to visit numerous reserves gives me ample opportunity to see diverse wildlife and document their behaviour. I am particularly interested in birds and in recent time I have contributed my observation on some previously unrecorded birds from our region.

I also actively participate imparting knowledge and training of youngsters on birding. I am involved with few local wildlife groups who work for the conservation of local flora and fauna.
