GETTING STARTED
The idea kicked off at Nick Sutcliffe’s
50th party; Candiah Giritharan,
Longman and Phelps committed
themselves to following through.
There was certainly a dimension of
fun and excitement involved in getting
a group of friends together for an
adventure, driving their tuk-tuks –
not competitively – for a total of 1,200
kilometres from Chennai to Goa.
Yet, the charitable aspect was central.
Longman emphasises that given the
background of most of the group –
consisting of bankers, brokers, energy
consultants and businessman living
and working in Asia – there was a
pressing desire to contribute as much
as possible. “We wanted to give
something back,” says Longman.
