Meet Manish, the heart and soul of Royal Bikers. A seasoned techie, proud father of a young rider, and a true wanderer at heart, Manish, affectionately known as Manu, boasts over two decades of expertise in planning and leading rides. With a vast spectrum of travel experiences across India, Bhutan, and Nepal, his road wisdom is unparalleled.

What sets him apart is not just his passion for riding but his unwavering commitment to responsible travel. Manish’s knack for exploring new destinations, crafting innovative routes, and solving challenges on the road is the secret to his leadership success. When he’s not at the helm of a ride, you’ll find him channeling his creativity into designing and customizing motorcycles, sharing quality time with his son, or meticulously planning the next thrilling adventure.

Sakshi, a former sales and marketing maven, now stands beside her husband, Manish, as the Co-founder and Chief Experience Officer of Royal Bikers. With a career dedicated to delivering excellence, Sakshi has set in place processes that ensure every rider’s experience is nothing short of exceptional.

Her versatility shines as she seamlessly manages all aspects, from coordinating with partner hotels to overseeing the backup vehicle, ensuring that every ride flows smoothly and becomes an unforgettable memory. Her passion for social causes mirrors her dedication to responsible travel. When not embarking on adventures with the team, Sakshi takes on the roles of a consultant to multinational organizations, a social entrepreneur, and a loving mother to her young aspiring rider.

Rajendra Prasad, a seasoned marketing professional with over two decades of corporate experience, joins the Royal Bikers team as the Co-founder and Chief of Strategy. His journey with Royal Bikers began in 2013 when he received a Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 (named Jajabor) as a gift from his wife.

An avid traveler and a Ladakh enthusiast, Rajendra ensures that social initiatives and collaborations with corporations align to create a positive impact on society. His dual role as a strategic mastermind and a vigilant ride marshal ensures that every rider reaches their destination safely and punctually.

When he’s not cruising the roads, Rajendra can be found offering consultancy service to corporations, meditating, trying out new food joints, exploring new horizons through cinema, day dreaming about Ladakh or meticulously planning the next remarkable trip.

I’m practically invisible until the topic shifts to Motorbike Touring. You can call me Kevin, although most know me simply as ‘Kev’. I’m a fervent biker and a wanderer by nature. Across the vast expanse of India, I’ve traversed on my trusty “Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 cc”. My exploits are not for the faint-hearted or the troubled souls. Adventure is my constant pursuit; I’ve ventured into the northern hemisphere on a few occasions, yet the South remains my true haven. At home, there’s a debate raging that I should take it easy, given my retirement status. But the concept of ‘easy’ is foreign to me, it’s not in my vocabulary nor my inclination.

Meet Darren, affectionately known as Daz, a passionate motorcyclist who has been exploring the world on two wheels for over five decades. Based in the picturesque Peak District of the UK, Darren’s obsession with Royal Enfield motorcycles has taken him across Europe, from the winding roads of France to the scenic routes of Romania. However, it’s the mind-blowing heights of the Himalayas that truly captured his heart.

A seasoned rider both on and off-road, Darren’s experiences in high-altitude terrains have left him longing for more. His philosophy is simple: once you ride through the Himalayas, they keep calling you back. When he’s not planning his next adventure, Darren enjoys sharing his knowledge and love for exploration with fellow riders.
