# Hello Friends!
My name is **Krishna Kuya**. I am originally from the city of Mumbai in India. I am a trek leader by profession and founder of one of the fastest growing travel company in India named **DarkGreen Adventures** (DGA). I specialize in backpacking and trekking. I am fortunate to have completed basic and advance courses in mountaineering and planning to do few more interesting courses.
I am a postgraduate in Energy Engineering and worked in the field of climate change mitigation for 3.5 years. Trekking gave me immense pleasure and satisfaction. Therefore, I choose to live out of the comfort zone, which a corporate job offers.

# The untold story of DGA
In school, I was never into sports and could barely run more than 100 meters. My family comes from the villages in Thar Desert of India (Rajasthan) and never been into mountaineering. At the age of 25 (better late than never), I got the passion of trekking. It taught me many things, which my formal education could never teach. I lost my job in August 2014 and it was one of the best thing that happened in my life. I was ousted from the rat race. In next few months, some series of events in my personal life prompted me to start leading trekking groups and stop searching for job. I got help from unexpected sources and people who came as angels in my life. Therefore, I could start this company with zero investment.

Fast forward into present date and #DGA has about 30k followers on Facebook with 2-3 trekking events every weekend. There are four trek leaders (including me) happily earning their bread by taking people to awesome locations. We are on a mission to change the way India travels by promoting backpack travel itineraries.
