Journey Of Embark Journeys
Pune boasts of many famous and iconic structures and organisations like Simla Office, NCL, Aayuka, Pune University, etc. But sadly, many people do not visit these places even once, even after living in Pune for many years. This is seen not only in Pune, but in cities all over India. The tour guides take tourists to the famous destinations, give information about the attractions and move on to a different part of the city.The school trips are somewhat similar, but happen in a more systematic manner. In the end, the field trips end up becoming nothing more than a yearly duty. However, if one wants the trip to be meaningful, s/he needs to view every trip with a different perspective, even if it is a local trip, a trip outside the city, state or the country. A new business of tourism was started by the name, ‘Embark Journeys’, when Mr. Devendra Sasne first thought of planning such meaningful trips. Let us get to know the journey of Mr. Devendra Sasne and Embark Journeys which started around 2-3 years ago.
Mr. Devendra Sasne was the son of Mr. Bharat Sasne, a collector at the Indian Administrative services, who later gained popularity as an author. Mr. Devendra had to travel abroad frequently for more than ten years, as he was a Pilot by profession. But, he wanted to settle down in India and start his own business after serving a few years in the field of aviation. Everyone was surprised when they got to know of his decision of leaving aviation and becoming a businessman, because of his reputed job profile and a good salary. But he wanted to do something different. His family gave their unconditional support to him, too. Most Marathi families want their children to study well and get a reputable job, preferably out of India, which pays a good salary. But upon expressing the desire to start a business, instead of giving the much needed support, an individual is usually demotivated. On the contrary, Mr. Devendra received great support from his family which is commendable as well as important to acknowledge.
