Meet the People
Behind the Peaks

Sanjay Kanchenjunga

Expedition Leader

Founder & Director

BS in CS from BYU, USA

Kanchenjunga is the sacred one you don’t summit without permission — fitting for the person who sets the route, the policies and the pace for everyone else.

Shyam Machhapuchhre

Trail Elder

Senior Advisor, Accounts & Scripts

Retired Engineer · MBA in International Marketing

Machhapuchhre is revered and never officially summited — the mountain you consult, not conquer. Wisdom, ledgers, and the words before the camera rolls.

Sandeep Makalu

Route Master

Co-founder & Project / Performance Lead

BS in CS from UTAS, Australia

Makalu is the sharp four-sided pyramid — precision climbing. Daily briefings, campaign structure, ad performance. He plots the line the team actually walks.

Shova Manaslu

Basecamp Commander

General Manager

Manaslu is “mountain of the spirit.” No summit happens without a basecamp that’s stocked, staffed, paid and running. Shova is that.

Merin Ama Dablam

Identity Architect

Brand, Logo & Packaging Design

Ama Dablam is the most recognisable silhouette in the Himalaya — you know it from one glance. That’s exactly what a brand identity has to do.

Bastola Dhaulagiri

All-Terrain Creative

Editing, Social Media & Design

Dhaulagiri is “the dazzling white mountain” — pure light. Bastola edits, designs, posts, and goes to field when the shoot needs a second pair of hands.

Mohan Annapurna

Frame Sculptor

Video Editor & Graphic Designer

Annapurna means “full of harvest” — the abundant one. Mohan shapes what the light becomes once it’s back from the field.

Bikram Lhotse

Light Chaser

Cinematographer / Videographer

Lhotse stands shoulder to shoulder with Everest and frames it. The camera is always beside the subject, never the subject.

Chitkala Hiunchuli

Chief Brand Ambassador

Snow Leopard-in-Residence

Hiunchuli means “snow peak” — the snow leopard’s actual country. Chitkala doesn’t work on the brand; Chitkala is the brand.
