Mr. Manish Adlakha

For the last decade and a half, I’ve been living in a cycle of building, learning, and, most importantly, unlearning. My path has always been at the intersection of business and meaning: from leading revenue at Goibibo to the high-altitude grit of HIAL in Ladakh, and eventually finding home in Rishikesh with NeerVan and Black Pole Coffee.I created The Slow Circle because I kept noticing a quiet truth at NeerVan: the conversations that actually changed us were never the ones we planned. This is my attempt to create more of those moments, deliberately, frequently, and with the right people. It’s an invitation to pull up a chair and finally stop rushing past the things that matter.
