In the tranquil depths beneath the surface lies a realm ripe for discovery. It’s within this submerged world of marine marvels that Ashok Vashist, the Founder and CEO of the cabhailing start-up WTiCabs, finds peace. With 50 dives under his belt, Vashist, a certified scuba diver, has ventured into the depths of destinations like the Andamans, Phuket in Thailand, and Bali in Indonesia.
For Vashist, scuba diving isn’t just a hobby; it’s a family legacy. Inspired by his father’s distinguished service in the Indian Navy as both a proficient instructor and an adept diver and swimmer, Vashist found his calling beneath the waves.
“Growing up in coastal areas, I naturally developed a profound love for the sea. Therefore, it was only natural for me to choose scuba diving as my passion, as it allows me to explore the depths of the sea, a realm I’ve always felt drawn to since childhood,” he says.
