Mr. Aravind Shankar

Founder & President

For Aravind, off-roading was never just about driving a 4x4 — it's about chasing experiences and creating memories with like-minded people. He founded TRAILBORN in 2024 to bring 4x4 owners together as one family, where beginners are welcomed, knowledge is shared, and safety comes first. His belief: 'The destination is never the best part of the journey — it's the people you travel with and the stories you create along the way.'

  • Sets club direction and culture
  • Leads expeditions across Tamil Nadu
  • Champions safety-first, responsible off-roading
