His breakdown of India's dairy industry - and why we're the world's largest beef exporter despite worshipping cows - will make you question everything.

But that's not all. Kuntal also exposes a controversial truth about Everest that most climbers won't admit: commercial expeditions are NOT real mountaineering. From Sherpas doing all the work to the harsh reality that 99.9% of climbers couldn't survive one hour past base camp alone - this conversation pulls back the curtain on what really happens at 29,000 feet.
This is the story of a 110kg Gujarati software engineer who had never climbed a mountain, survived deadly avalanches and the 2015 Nepal earthquake, and summited Everest TWICE - all while maintaining a 100% vegan lifestyle for 24 years.

Other topics covered as how so many fitness influencers are misleading people and how you can actually get enough protein on Indian diet with a few tweaks. He debunks a lot of the myths of veganism. As well as, dives deeper into aging and mountaineering as well as the need for strength training for general population for disease prevention.
