BC: Why you chose India as your home and a
workplace, wherein, you could have gone to any
other countries?
MYP: My mom has been in India when I was 10
years old and she used to show me the
photographs of India and I loved it, I call India
"The mother land" and for sure a spiritual
country. I wanted to know myself in my life
journey, decided to come to India for my higher
studies for MBA and PhD in Marketing. After my
MBA, started working as a management trainee
at Panchshil realty and later on became the
head of retail and marketing in the same
company and worked for 12 years.
I had my childhood dream to launch my own
brand which I did and my brand "House of Maral
Yazarloo" is well known brand in Paris, Milan,
Rome, Dubai & India.
I must say, I was born in Iran but mother India
accepted me as her child and gave me
everything which I desired.
BC: How did you start riding? How long have
been riding?
MYP: 15 years ago when I was studying in India
one of my Iranian friends had a RE Bullet and I
sat on his bike, he said to get off because I
didn't know how to ride, I told him to teach me,
and I rode 100 meters and I said if I wanted to do
something I will do and that's how my riding
began. In Iran women are not allowed to ride, so
I never had any two wheelers but then in India
the first bike I owned was Harley Davidson 48
around 8 years ago, since then I travelled

BC: Any Particular bike you DISLIKE?
MYP: No ! I don't judge any bike, it's a machine, it's a natural process but I had a choice to stop
my ride and go back home or I continue my ride..
neither I judge a biker by his/her bike.
I travelled with my baby to 40 countries for the
last six months of my ride, slept in my tent and
tried to get the right food along the way. My baby
and me saw many beautiful places in this world
but yes I had to be extra conscious about
everything, I used to have routine check-ups in
different countries along the way,
