Between 2010-16 he traveled 25,000 km in trucks as a driver assistant or 'kalasi' across Indian highways to study the challenges faced by Indian trade & commerce. In the course of this breathtaking journey, he fell in love with long haul truck drivers and wrote three books (10,000 km on Indian Highways in 2011, Naked Banana! in 2012 and An Affair With Indian Highways in 2013.) The maiden book is included in the Library of Congress, Washington, USA in recognition of the unusual insights provided on Indian truck drivers.
