THE INTERVIEW
DR.MARAL

By Bikers Club
BC: How do you define
yourself?
MYP: A human, who's trying
to be a good person for this
world. A dreamer who
believes she can change the
world. Then comes, I am an
Iranian who adopted India as
her home, when I was on my
world ride, I hold two flags,
Iranian and Indian, both are
equal to me. I was a daughter,
sister & a friend when I
started my world ride, and
got married during my ride
and became a wife and a
mother, these are some
different roles in my life,
which I try to be perfect as
much as I can.
In the corporate side:
I have a PhD in marketing and
I worked as head of retails &
marketing in one of the
leading companies of India
for 12 years. And also I am a
fashion designer and I
showcased & launched my
brand in Paris, Rome, Milan,
Dubai & India, and I was a
part of London Fashion Week
before I left for my world ride.
My workshop is in Pune, I do
have a shop in J.W Marriott
Pune and hopefully will open
soon in Delhi.
As a Biker:
I started riding bikes all over
India around 8 years ago, my
first bike was a Harley
Davidson 48, then I got
another HD Nightrod Special
and later on Ducati Diavel &
BMW GS.
I rode around 140,000 Kms on
my bike before I left for my
world ride.
I started my world ride on 15th
March 2017, on my BMW GS
f650 (800CC), I travelled to 7
continents, 64 countries
110,000 Kms without any back
up and team neither fix
planning, although I started
with my riding partner
Mr. Pankaj Trivedi but
unfortunately due to his health
issues he could not continue
after a couple of months and I
continued solo, majorly slept
in my tent and ate what I could
get, amazing experience!
