Karan's Wild Story
Some people will never be content working a regular nine to five job in the city. Karan is one of those people. The first time he heard the roar of a tiger in the dead of the night he knew he was where he was supposed to be. It was then that he decided to move away from life in the concrete jungle, and start living in the real one.

For Karan, no two days are the same. His idea of a regular weekend is driving eight hours into the thick of the jungle to camp in the wild with his travellers. Lucky for us, Karan is all about living in the moment and can often be found posting live updates from the jungle. It's how he shares his world with his family, friends and fellow adventure enthusiasts; allowing them to get a glimpse into the wild world that Karan now calls home.

When you're with Karan at Aura, you never know what's going to happen next.
In Pictures...
In the wild you have to value the passing moment, the thrill of nature and the unpredictability of the fleeting second. So it's just as well Karan is never far from a camera.

Take a look at his adventures and see what life at Aura is like.
Integrated social feeds
Karan doesn't remember the last time he opened his laptop to do business. With a BlackBerry that allows him to filter his social network and RSS feeds into the one view, Karan can now update multiple social networks with a single post, which means more adventures for him.
