Ravi
Ravi is a history fanboy and is happiest when exploring and photographing historical sites. Once on a visit to a 7th Century temple near his ancestral village, he felt a strong need for a better narration of its story, and the idea of CaptivaTour was born.
He believes that every site has a fascinating story to tell; it just needs the right storyteller. He leads content creation for CaptivaTour.
Before CaptivaTour, Ravi worked for around ten years in management consulting and the vocational training sector in India. He is a Chartered Accountant (although he requests that this never be held against him) and an MBA from IIM-Ahmedabad.
Deepthi
Deepthi was bitten by the travel bug during a work trip to Istanbul in 2006. She has since been back to Istanbul 2 more times, in addition to as much travel as she has been able to fit into a busy corporate life. She has also hiked and trekked all over the world, from Cambodia to Macchu Picchu.
She is responsible for marketing and consumer research at CaptivaTour
Deepthi spent 8 years with P&G in India and Singapore before leaving to pursue other interests, travel being chief among them. She has a degree in Electrical Engineering and an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad.
Sid
After his MBA, Sid chose to join a small travel company because he was promised 3 months of paid travel around India. He has worked in travel and IT startups throughout his life.
He is responsible for technology at CaptivaTour. He dreams about the day when you will be able to download apps directly into your brain - no fretting about battery life and no worries about cracking your expensive smartphone’s screen.
As an army brat, Sid grew up with a love for travel, history and tradition. He enjoys traveling to historic sites and wildlife parks. His two favourite books are Last Chance to See and The Selfish Gene
