We’re excited to feature Paras Pundir, a community builder who has dedicated his journey to helping people breathe, reset, and rediscover what truly matters. From the bustling chaos of Bangalore’s startup scene to the calm shores of Goa, Paras’ story is one of intentional transformation — from chasing speed to choosing stillness.
As the Founder of Swakaash, India’s first slow-living movement, Paras brings people together through retreats, coaching, and meaningful conversations that encourage taking a break before life breaks you. Having previously worked with global brands like Microsoft and Facebook, he continues to nurture spaces that foster human connection, growth, and gratitude.
Rooted in empathy and guided by purpose, Paras’ mission is simple yet powerful — to share good perspectives, teach good habits, and help people become better humans.
