Living on the edge
Samar Farooqui, 28, wishes to promote slacklining, an adventure sport that involves walking or balancing along a suspended length of flat webbing that is tensioned between two anchors. After working in New Zealand, Farooqui moved back to India to be a professional slackliner and founded Slacklife Inc. – a sport and recreation company. He wishes to create more awareness about the sport, so that more people engage in it and the country may eventually be able to send an Indian athlete to the Slackline World Cup.
