As the snow-capped Himalayan peaks glisten in the sun, Harsh Snehanshu, a 27-year-old published author (of Kanav-Tanya trilogy fame) and entrepreneur, works on a laptop in a balcony office created in a guesthouse overlooking Solang Valley in Himachal Pradesh. After a couple of hours, he embarks on a trek with his colleague and former hostel mate at IIT-Delhi, Ashish Singh. As the sun sets, they return, read books and once again, resume work post dinner. While most city slickers visit the picturesque Solang Valley, 10 kilometres from Manali, for adventure sports, the Delhi-based duo have made it their home since a month to launch a start-up, YourQuote.
