Founder of Touristlink.com a social network for travel. Touristlink lets travelers connect with each other and with locals for tours, transport, cultural, language exchanges, friendships and more. Touristlink is now one of the fastest growing “big” social travel sites and we expect to grow our member base from 50,000 today (May 2014) to 300,000 in the next 8 months.

I am an avid traveler and have to been to over 40 countries. I started Touristlink out of my passion for travel. I recently, raised seed funding for Touristlink in both Chile and Kenya and had a chance to live in both these countries.

Previously, I competed my PhD from Ohio State and in 2006 started Salt Lake SMS an outsourcing company in Nagpur, India which my co-founder and I grew from 3 to 80 employees.
