A Mountain-Preneur On A Mission
Anurag Maloo is on a mission where he plans to climb all 14 peaks that are higher than 8,000 metres. He also wants to conquer the seven highest summits on each of the seven continents. He wants to do this to raise awareness about the UN Global Goals and inspire action. His plans for this season were to climb Mount Annapurna, Mount Everest, and Lhotse in Nepal.
