Shashi Kaul is a Kashmiri-born endurance athlete, philanthropist, and advocate for children's welfare. Raised near Anantnag during a time of social upheaval, he overcame early challenges—including undiagnosed dyslexia—to earn three master's degrees across different disciplines. Now based in Canberra, Australia, Shashi channels his passion for adventure into fundraising efforts, having summited Mount Everest, Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro, and Mount Kosciuszko. Through his work with charities like Bravehearts, Make-A-Wish, and Hands Across the Water, he is committed to creating a better world for children lacking parental support.
