Ishan’s path to the outdoors was anything but straightforward, but every twist and turn brought him closer to his passion. From studying engineering and earning a master’s degree in business to working in diverse industries, he’s done it all. Growing up near the foothills of the Himalayas, his summers were filled with trekking adventures that sparked a lifelong love for nature. That love eventually led him to Scotland — a land of breath-taking Highlands — where he’s now based in Glasgow.
In his short time in Scotland, Ishan has worked with young people in various ways — as an International Students’ Representative with the student union and now with a charity focused on making sports and outdoor activities more accessible to everyone. Through initiatives like the Duke of Edinburgh Award and programs supporting unaccompanied minors, he works to break barriers and make outdoor spaces more inclusive.
He also leads a sustainable lifestyle and is keen on learning more about the local wildlife.
