Climbing To A Different High
Citadel|May 2018

Integrating the textbook approach of what they learned during their MBA course with their passion for trekking and mountaineering, two young Puneites have launched a startup called ADVENTURE PULSE that hopes to get people from across the world to love the great outdoors, writes Huned Contractor.

Climbing To A Different High

At a time when the youth not only have surplus cash to spend, but are also keen to push some adrenaline into their lives, it makes business sense to get into a venture that offers the joy of trekking and mountaineering. That’s the thought behind Pune’s start-up called Adventure Pulse, which recently made news by successfully leading the largest contingent of Indians to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point on the continent of Africa. As many as 17 climbers made it to the height of 19,341 feet.

“For us, it spelt an astounding 95 per cent success ratio, where the average summit rate is no more than 50 per cent on a mountain like Kilimanjaro. Our team had 18 members and only one of them had to turn back just short of the summit,” says Samir Patham, the expedition leader. Incidentally, the team also had 10-year-old Aryaa Bhatia, who was accompanied by his mother. “He is now the youngest Indian-American to have reached the summit of Kilimanjaro,” Patham informs. In this interview, the founders of Adventure Pulse, Samir Patham and Sauraj Jhingan, recount their experience of having flagged off such a unique start-up.
