About Me

Hey everyone,

I'm not a seasoned marathoner—just someone who believes running a few kilometers is nothing compared to the daily marathons people like Pulkit run to find their place in this world.

I'm passionate about NGOs, startups, and technology that creates real impact. This run isn't just about crossing a finish line. It's about proving that ordinary people can do extraordinary things together.

Appeal

Before i tell you my appeal, i want to tell you a story.

Meet Pulkit Mathur, at 25 he felt like the world had a different set of rules for him. Living with a disability, he faced constant setbacks and rejection, a silent struggle against barriers he never created. He had an indomitable spirit, but what he needed was a breakthrough— a single chance to prove his worth and make his family proud. His opportunity finally came through a skill development program called PANKH, run by TRRAIN. He learned, he grew, and he blossomed. Today, he’s a professional at STARTEK, earning a stable income of ?14,000 a month. His journey from searching for direction to becoming a role model is proof that with just a single opportunity, a person can truly take flight.

Here's why I need your help.

I am running the Tata Mumbai Marathon this year to create more such opportunities for individuals such as Pulkit. Talented people. Determined people. People who don't need charity—they need a chance. TRRAIN creates those chances through programs like PANKH.

When you support my run, you're not just helping me cross the finish line. You're helping someone cross the line from unemployed to employed. From overlooked to essential. From surviving to thriving.

Pulkit's mother doesn't worry about his future anymore. His colleagues see him as an inspiration, not someone to pity. His community knows that dreams aren't just for the lucky few.

That's the ripple effect your donation creates.
