Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Ajita Madan : In short, “A dream to amplify our adventures led us to the formation of NthAdventure” – An only licensed Adventure Racing Organization in India
We wanted to explore more outdoors, indulge with nature and then we were like What’s next? While we were searching for our answers, we found Patagonian Adventure Race which was a 700 Km Expedition style Race, where there was NO support from outside, No motor involved, No GPS or Satellite based maps and adding to this it’s a TEAM EVENT with ONE female or male which is a mandatory for a team of FOUR. Our curiosity led us to explore deeper and we realised it’s a big ocean of Adventure Races across the Globe having Documentaries, TV Series and more. We were looking for the nearest race where we can physically go and experience this massive sport. That’s when we came across “GODZONE adventure race – Queenstown, New Zealand”, and got our first-hand experience as a Race Marshall learning inside and out about this sport. We learnt so much about this sport and athletes that we just fell in love. That dream we saw with an open eye led us to form NthAdventure, an organization with a huge heart for AR growing in leaps and bounds to introduce the best sport to every person who love Adventure. ADVENTURE RACING is termed as the world’s toughest Team Race – Prove us wrong. We are making Adventure Racing accessible to every Indian with same level of standardization attracting international athletes to race and experience India’s adventure side as well as its culture and hospitality.

Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face?
Awareness of “Adventure Racing” sport in India which is a GLOBAL sport having annual Championships hosted in various parts of the world. Misconception of calling every multisport event as Adventure Race. Reach & Access to avid athletes and India’s vast and gigantic destinations meant for such sports. Permissions, approvals from Government bodies & various stakeholders where massive logistical support required to host Expedition style races. We really hope that through our National & ASIA Race Series we can create more awareness so that this sport also gets Government as well as other stakeholders support to invite all in-house & international athletes.
