Total Vote(s) : 63 | Total Testimonial(s) : 3

Hi All, We are Akanksha and Gaurav from Delhi, close friends for 4 years now and plan to work in collaboration to design and execute a social enterprise by complementing each other's competencies. Akanksha is currently a research scholar at Delhi University and associated with various social causes, including 'Road pe Rahi Bhai Bhai' which has brought about a sea change in Delhi's attitude towards road rage.She has also worked with United Nations Office on Drugs & Crime and has designed and executed numerous social projects. . I, Gaurav, have just graduated from IIM Lucknow. I am an avid reader and passionate about trains and railways and have explored every bit possible, from history & cultural impact to technical intricacies of railways across the world. Something I have in me since childhood. Both of us are very excited about participating in The Great Driving Challenge and looking forward not only to traverse the distance but highlight the story of every geographical milestone.

We are the best candidates because...

We are the best candidates because we are bringing to the table the very diverse set of interests and observational skills which we shall club together to present the entire journey in its most multicoloured and diverse form. We plan to cover every geography in different terms - people, culture, language, flora, fauna, food and the unique features. We have a lot of respect for individuality and the story that every small or big place has behind it. We intend to bring it forward to the world through our journey.

Vinamr

Gaurav is the kind of guy who observes the 'subtlest' of subtleties with such detail that it makes the dullest of moments seem th most interesting and humourous ones. Coupling this with the excellent oratory skills that he has, and Akanksha's ability of getting along well with all kinds of people, makes him the perfect candidate!

Parvesh Kumar Singh

The efficiency of teamwork reaches its pinnacle only because of alter-egos especially when it comes to covering a huge distance!! Gaurav and Akanksha; a smart, humorous, intelligent and traveling freak pair can easily cover any distance making it an unforgettable story. I strongly recommend them as winners of this event.

Emon Goswami

Gaurav Himkar always has a story to tell. Sometimes funny and sometimes even funnier. But he does always have a story to tell.Akanksha is usually looking. Sometimes har and at other times harder. But she is always looking. Combine these two and you have the dream team to drive around long winding roads, meeting new people along the way, tasting the local savours and coming out of it all with great stories to tell us fortunate souls.
