ANSOO GUPTA

is a Mumbaibased media professional and serial traveller, on a quest to see the world in the most sustainable way possible. She is considered by many to be a role model for responsible travel.

“As we emerge from months of lockdown, with no real end in sight of these new, but not unexpected, threats to our life and wellbeing, it will bear us well to change not just the way we travel but our very approach to travel. I believe that every traveller should be a conscious traveller, and everyone should travel with a sense of purpose and responsibility.”
