Hi, I’m Lalit Kumar!
I like to write both prose and poetry around the themes of adventure, exploration and everything in between. I am big on adventure sports and have an innate sense of curiosity towards life’s myriad experiences that has taken me skydiving, rock climbing, skiing, motorcycling, scuba diving, kayaking and participating in Triathlon events, over the years.
I also love speaking on these themes and have appeared on several speaking forums and author’s panels.
For my day job, I love working in business development, strategic partnerships and shaping Go-To-market strategies in the Technology sector.
