About

Rohan : Systems thinker building from the field. Operating from our model farm at Aranya Farm. I study and build at the intersection of: – Biological systems – Digital acceleration – Civilizational constraints After building startups across sectors, I now operate from a model farm, studying how biological cycles constrain digital ambition. Over the past year, I’ve lived through two full seasonal cycles on land — recalibrating how I think about scale, resilience, and growth. Before this, I completed a 123-day K2K walking journey across India — 1400+ km on foot, the rest hitchhiked — finishing what I once started and learning how systems hold (or break) under stress. North Expedition is an ongoing experiment: Activating underutilised farmland into regenerative, lived ecosystems — one farm at a time. Writing long-form on acceleration, metabolism, and the future of resilient systems.

North expedition

Co-Founder

Oct 2023Present · 2 yrs 8 mos · Pan India · On-site

  • a platform building the operating layer for high-integrity rural and regenerative experiences in India.
  • We work at the intersection of rural tourism, community livelihoods, and inner transformation, partnering with farms and village ecosystems to create experiences that are consistent, scalable, and deeply human — without diluting authenticity.
  • North Expedition is not a retreat brand.
  • We are building the infrastructure that makes rural experiential tourism work at scale:
  • A) activating and onboarding farms,
  • B) training on-ground talent,
  • C) standardising quality and guest experience,
  • D) running operations through a shared farm operating system.
  • Our work spans coaching-led rural immersions, conscious village stays, nature-based workshops, and founder energy-reset programs — designed primarily for urban professionals and founders seeking depth, not escape tourism.
  • As Co-Founder, I lead experience design, community architecture, and brand narrative, while also shaping the systems that allow these experiences to repeat reliably across locations.
  • Values: Love · Freedom · Play · Wholeness
  • Belief: Scale does not require loss of soul — only better systems.

Travel

Apr 2023Apr 2023 · 0 mo · Himachal Pradesh, India

  • Chandigarh → Jibhi → Shoja → Rampur → Reckong Peo → Kalpa → Kaza → Rangrik → Shimla → Chandigarh
  • After a fast-paced startup project that didn’t align despite deep time, energy, and financial investment, I chose to pause. What followed was a conscious travel sabbatical across Himachal Pradesh—rooted in reflection, recalibration, and rediscovery.
  • This wasn’t a vacation. It was a reset.
  • Through the winding roads from Kalpa to Kaza and silent sunrises in Rangrik, I reconnected with what truly moves me—systems thinking, emotional sustainability, and nature-led living. The journey became a living classroom that later shaped how I approach inner work, energy design, and the rhythm-based philosophy behind North Expedition.

Kpit

Software Engineer

Feb 2020Feb 2021 · 1 yr · Pune, Maharashtra, India

  • In this role, I worked on testing automotive architectures across Body Control Units, Powertrain systems, and Infotainment modules—learning the ins and outs of both assembly-level programming and corporate hierarchy.
  • While I developed strong technical discipline and systems thinking, the real takeaway was deeper: this experience showed me what I didn’t want. It became a turning point that nudged me toward more human-centered, creative, and purpose-driven work.
