He left his corporate life to follow his passion to travel the world. Keeping his passion for travel at the forefront, he founded entrepreneurship in travel.

Sujoy Mitra is by far the most travelled Indian and the world record is another feather in his cap. On this achievement, Mitra said that records are meant to be broken and sooner or later, theirs too will be broken. He also advised that one should aspire to keep on failing better.

The Indian duo ended their record-breaking journey in Melbourne, Australia on the 7th of December 2022. On this achievement, Dr. Irani said that he thought it a great pleasure and privilege to create a world record doing something that the two were so greatly passionate about. He also said that he was greatly humbled by this accomplishment.
