Esha Gupta has already completed several long journeys on her Bajaj Avenger a.k.a ‘Mike’. Mike has been her two-wheeled companion for these trips spanning from length and breadth of the country. She quit her at an MNC about four years ago as she wanted to see the country.

Elaborating on the objective behind the journey, Esha said, ” By doing a solo ride across my country, I want to send out a message to all those out there who say India is an unsafe country for women: it is definitely not so. Having travelled alone extensively, I negate that line with my full will. That doesn’t mean I am challenging the miscreants, it just means that we, as a country, are concentrating so much on the negativity that we have forgotten that we are surrounded majorly by positive and good people. ”
