Behind Miles Per Devgn

I'm Shubham.
Usually taking a detour.

Seven-plus years in advertising. Now building Darcha Labs and Repcreators, with a camera and two motorcycles making sure there's more to life than work.

This is the long version of what doesn't fit in a reel: routes, riding notes, mountain mornings, a little saltwater, and the stops that end up becoming the story.

Somewhere along the way.
