All About Harsh's संघर्ष

The Man with a Mission.

Harshvardhan Joshi was born in Vasai, Maharashtra in 1995. Today, he is a Mountaineer who conquered the highest peak of the World in 2021, while promoting Solar Energy and Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations, battling COVID-19 and enduring two cyclones on his way to the top.

Having successfully conquered his dream, Harsh is now working on his next goal, which is to go to one of the best universities in the World to learn business and sustainability while sharing lessons from his journey. He is on a mission to uplift the lives of remote communities in the Himalayas and other places through impact tourism and rural development
