THE MAN BEHIND IT
Filmmaker. Guide. Adventure specialist.
Anil is a surf filmmaker, social media specialist, skater, and outdoor guide from Rajasthan who found his home between Kerala’s waves and the Himalayan ridgelines.
He has worked with international surf groups from Israel and Europe, handling everything from in-water photography to full trip operations in Little Andaman and across South India’s coast.
When he’s not behind the lens, he’s scouting new surf breaks, connecting yoga retreat hosts with the perfect Himalayan property, or planning the next Himalayan trek route.
