About Sanjay
What is 4×4? Ask this to Sanjay and soon you will find yourself engaged in an in-depth discussion on the topic with him. That’s because for Sanjay, 4×4 is a way of life. He not only understands the mechanics of off-road driving, but also has a natural ability to lead expeditions. The reason why he has been an active participant and organizer of the most challenging rallies in India – Raid de Himalaya and The Desert Storm. He has led many expeditions to Ladakh and Rajasthan. And he is the first person to drive a Tata Nano to Khardung La Pass – the highest motorable road in the world.
