WHAT CAN I LEARN TODAY or wcilt is a passion project of Chandan Lahiri. Chandan comes from an Army background, travelled across the country depending on where his father was posted, changed multiple schools, including completing his MBA programme in the Institute of Business Administration, Dhaka, Bangladesh … an Institute set up by the Ford Foundation.

Chandan spent more than two decades in the communications and advertising industry, primarily in the Planning department, responsible for developing and designing marketing and brand building plans for products, including many that were fresh launches.

At the turn of the millennium he exchanged his Oxford shoes and silk ties for trekking shoes and a backpack, becoming a traveller and explorer. He is arguably India’s first instructor on wilderness survival skills. His comprehensive book on Wilderness Survival has received rave reviews from across the world. He holds two records in endurance motorcycling and one record in survival skills. He became the first person to paddle a canie solo down the Ganges, from Haridwar to Kolkata. He is planning on a few more endurance efforts over the next few months.

One of his talents is his command over the English language. From infancy he was always found with a book in his hands and could not go to sleep without reading a few pages. He has been a voiceover talent for many years and has been lending his voice for commercials and audiobooks. His unique neutra and international accent and baritone voice has been appreciated by his many clients.

After COVID-19 shut down the world he became an artist, mastering both mandala dot art as well as designing epoxy river tables.

Chandan in also an author and has authored quite a few books. You can find his books here.

He wants to share the knowledge he has gained over the years and hence this particular platform where people can gain insights into some unique categories of knowledge.
