AJ was born and brought up in Delhi, India. He moved to New Zealand in 2015 to pursue higher education and fell in love with the unique beauty and lifestyle the country offers. A keen traveler, AJ enjoys experiencing different traditions and cultures each place has to offer, which broadens his understanding of the world.

In his free time, AJ likes going out walking and hiking to explore new places. He also enjoys trying different foods and staying active by running, going to the gym, and swimming. Adding yoga and meditation to his daily schedule is something AJ aspires to do.

Being honest is quite important to AJ, as he believes it builds trust and strengthens relationships.
