‘Simply Breathe’ is what happened when a Banker, a Counselling Psychologist and an Underwater Photographer got together. Karan Mehta, Michelle Pereira and Bhushan Bagadia have been friends for a long time.
They decided to create a space to share the experiences that really touched their hearts and transformed them.
About US
Karan Mehta loves his corporate swanky shoes as much as his dive fins. His love for showing people a good time began as he bartended his way through Business School. He has spent the last decade as an Investment Professional, currently working with one of the largest private Development Investment funds in the world. Karan has a brain as sharp as a razor and a heart that’s pure as gold. Diving opened another realm for him and since then it has kindled an undying passion for conscious and compassionate living – committing to save the planet one plastic bottle at a time. He is the “Boss Man” of the Simply Breathe ship.
Michelle Pereira is a Counselling Psychologist specialized in Marriage/Family Therapy, Integral Somatic Psychology and Mindfulness. She has a holistic approach to counselling drawing from western and eastern perspectives. She conducts workshops in the corporate and education space. She devotes some of her time to writing. In her early years, her zest for life lead her to taking groups of people around the world on holiday. She has her own private practice now and is also affiliated with Snehalaya, Mindful Spring and Human Dynamic. She has invested a lot of time learning, studying and practicing. But she says now, “ everything you need to know is already within you, awaken to the wisdom of the heart.”
Bhushan Bagadia: “A wanderer I have always been, and it has gifted me the world. Both above and below the horizon.” Bhushan is at the forefront of Indian marine-life photography, and has spent the last 5 years perfecting his art in the field. It has led him to be deeply invested in marine wildlife conservation and thereby work with almost every person, party, and organization that has a will to and hand in protecting it. He came to photography after numerous years spent on and with the stage – as an actor, dancer, sound & lights rookie, and event manager. All of that catapulted him to New York, where he studied the art of making movies, and was forever rendered smitten by the camera and the magic he creates with it.
