Mini bio
How it started.
Ansh comes from Prayagraj, formerly Allahabad. An MBA graduate, he became known for a hitchhiking journey across India in 2017, relying on strangers for lifts, meals and places to stay. His TEDxNUV introduction describes a journey lasting 254 days.
People along the road.
That early trip was a way to question assumptions about strangers and discover how much kindness people would offer. In 2019, he brought those experiences to TEDxNUV in his talk Hitchhiking for Humanity.
Across Africa.
His travels grew into an expedition across Africa by road and sea. In a February 2023 interview with My Gambia, he described a journey focused on local hospitality, community tourism and traditions. The Gambia was his 32nd African country at that point.
Indigo Trekker today.
Fans now follow him as Indigo Trekker. His recent documentaries visit villages, markets, temples and festivals across India, with time for residents’ stories, local beliefs and the details of everyday life.
