About me

Hi, I’m Arpan, a mountaineer, scuba diver, and outdoor enthusiast from India. I’ve explored remote landscapes around the world — from Himalayan peaks to coral reefs — and learned that reliable power can make or break an off-grid adventure.

I’m also an energy systems engineer specializing in hydrogen fuel cell technologies in Germany, with experience in designing and optimizing energy solutions. Combining this technical expertise with real-world outdoor experience, I created TrailCharge to help hikers, campers, and overlanders stay powered and safe on their trips.
