Mr Ashwini Mehra

Tulian Lake Trek | Group of 20th August 2024

Mr Ashwini Mehra wears many hats. He is an Independent Director on the board of 3 companies, a Sr. Advisor to a listed NY headquartered financial services firm and also a corporate insolvency practitioner. Prior to this, he worked with the State Bank of India for almost 38 years, retiring as a Dy. Managing Director in October 2016, at 60.

Mr Mehra has been doing short treks with his friends independently with his college friends. He has done about 4 treks with YHAI during his higher studies and early years in the Bank. Earlier, he used to go with his father (a renowned photographer) and would have to carry a lot of his father's load in his rucksack while he handled his Rollicord and Asahi Pentax film cameras and the various lenses and filters.

He has been passionate about outdoor sports, particularly football and cricket. He represented his school in both the sports and his college in football. His favourite position in the soccer team was in the forward line, as "left out" ("pun not intended, haha," he said). He likes reading lifestyle and thriller books (Robin Sharma, Adam Grant, John Grisham). He is also fond of travelling to less visited places and listening to Ted Talks , light music, watching crime and detective serials & movies.
