Jayanth Sharma — CEO

I’m a wildlife photographer, explorer, and entrepreneur who believes that travel and photography are two of the most powerful ways to connect people with nature. As the Founder & CEO of Toehold, I’ve spent the past 15+ years turning dreams of travel and photography into reality — from the wild savannas of Africa to the frozen frontiers of the Arctic. Under Toehold’s twin brands — Toehold Travel and Toehold Photography — my team and I design journeys that blend adventure, learning, and inspiration for travellers and photographers around the world. A Sony Alpha Brand Ambassador, I’ve had the privilege of showcasing the art and science of photography to audiences across the globe — through workshops, talks, and storytelling sessions that go beyond technique to explore the deeper connection between creativity, wildlife, and human emotion. My journey has taken me from photographing polar bears in Svalbard to tigers in India, from inspiring school children to mentoring professionals in corporations like Adobe. Every frame I create, every expedition I lead, and every story I tell aims to inspire people to see the world with wonder — and to protect it with empathy. When I’m not on expedition, I write, speak, and create content around travel, entrepreneurship, wildlife, and photography — helping others find purpose in their passions and persistence in their pursuits. 📸 Photographer | Explorer | Educator | Storyteller | Entrepreneur 🌍 Founder & CEO — Toehold Experiences 🎥 Sony Alpha Ambassador | Speaker | Author
