The only man on the planet to have led successful expeditions to the north and south poles and to Everest, Satya has summited Everest three times, climbed the seven summits and has logged over 350 major summits around the globe – many of them first ascents and new routes. A retired Indian Navy submarine commander, he is former Indian national yachting champion, has sailed around the world and walked across the African continent.
 
Satya’s true passion lies in the sport of extreme mountaineering – charting new routes, undertaking highly technical climbs and exploring unknown valleys. Applying his experience in some of the deepest, most remote corners of the world, he now works as a motivational speaker and writer and continues to lead mountaineering and other outdoor adventure expeditions. He is a member of the Indian Mountaineering Foundation’s Scientific Exploration Committee and is currently working with TERI (The Energy Resources Institute) Glacier Project Team. Satya also collaborates with Icelandic Glacier Studies on climate change and the effects of global warming. Satya is a two-time recipient of the Nao Sena Medal (Gallantry), the Chief of Naval Staff Commendation (twice), the Commander-in-Chief Commendation and the Tenzing Norgay Adventure Award.
