🌱 Our Story & Mission
OutBeyond: Nurturing Life Skills Through Experiential Adventure Founded in 2017, OutBeyond is a pioneering educational initiative that uses the transformative power of nature, travel, and experiential learning to instill essential life skills in students and youth. At OutBeyond, we believe the most impactful lessons happen not in classrooms but in nature — amidst rivers, mountains, forests, and trails that challenge and change us. Over 2,500 young individuals have joined us on adventures into India’s less-traveled wilderness — returning not only with stories but with strength, insight, and a new awareness of themselves and their world.
🧠The OutBeyond Philosophy
We’re guided by one core belief: learning should be lived. At the heart of our programs is experiential learning — a dynamic, hands-on educational approach that goes beyond books and exams. Our Adventure-Based Learning Experience (ABLE) camps are built to push comfort zones, test limits, and bring out hidden potential through real-world challenges in natural settings. OutBeyond helps young minds grow by developing: Self-confidence and resilience, Teamwork and leadership, Environmental stewardship, Communication and decision-making under pressure, An enduring connection with nature, And a sense of responsibility towards the environment.
👨‍🏫 Meet the Visionary: Udayan Kayande
The spirit of OutBeyond is deeply rooted in the remarkable journey of its founder, Udayan Kayande. Born in 1959 and shaped by a truly global upbringing, Udayan’s career spanned leadership roles in the manufacturing industry, international humanitarian aid, tribal empowerment, and sustainable development. After a successful corporate journey culminating as Unit Chief at a multinational firm, he chose to retire early to pursue his passion: mentoring youth through nature and adventure. A certified mountaineer and former Outward Bound educator, Udayan brings a rare blend of discipline, empathy, and vision. His life story is one of continuous reinvention and purposeful impact.
