Live Raw. Lead Real.

Glimpses into the Journey of M. Asif Ebrahim — Founder of NatureKnights



I was raised on stories and salt air.

Long before NatureKnights existed, my world was an open book—and I read anything and everything I could find… except classroom textbooks. Asterix, Tintin, Amar Chitra Katha, Enid Blyton, Hardy Boys, Papillon, HG Wells, Westerns, encyclopedias, adventure novels—if it sparked the imagination, I was all in.



But I didn’t just live in stories. I lived them.

My classroom extended beyond school walls—into mangrove forests, coconut farms, sun-drenched forts, and moonlit backwaters. I built rafts from scrap wood. Swam across open seas. Nurtured gardens. Adopted stray animals. Fell off cliffs and rooftops. And somewhere along the way, I learned that resilience often looks a lot like childlike wonder.






Even then, I didn’t just explore nature—I listened to it.

That spirit followed me to Bhavan’s College, where I co-founded an eco-adventure club, and then into a two-decade career in the IT industry—consulting, concept selling, building businesses. I scaled corporate peaks during the week, and literal ones on the weekends.




Then in March 2008, life called a timeout.

A heart attack. Cardiac arrest. A week in the ICU. Most people told me to give up the outdoors, slow down, and play it safe. I chose to come back stronger—and live raw, not reduced.



That’s when NatureKnights was truly born.

Not just a travel company—but a mission. A canvas for transformation. A space where wild terrain meets inner clarity. By blending strategy with adventure, I crafted immersive journeys and experiential learning programs that awaken grit, self-awareness, presence, and connection—in individuals, in teams, in leaders.

Today, I help people step beyond comfort zones and into something deeper. Because the edge is where evolution begins. And the wild is where the real leader comes alive.
