I am a Sports Exercise medicine & Pain doctor. I am also author of The Pain Handbook: A Non-Surgical Way to Managing Back, Neck and Knee Pain.

I am the founder of La Ultra - The High a 555 km race in Leh-Ladakh, India, but I am even more keen to get people to start moving as that's a bigger challenge and more satisfying for me. And yes, I have run half marathon in 1hr 18min and full marathon in 2hr 38min.

I have been writing for Hindustan Times and Mint etc since 2008 and previously wrote for Forbes India.
