Shaon came up with the idea for Geotourist on a trip to Australia. When his tour guide did not show up for their scheduled tour of the Ayers Rock, he thought “What if there was an app for an audio tour that I could take in my own time?” He then went on to build the platform that is Geotourist. Today Geotourist hosts curated audio tours for thousands of travelers and culture enthusiasts around the world.

Shaon serves as the evangelist for Geotourist and its technology platform with the tourism and travel industry. He is on the Boards of The Tourism Society, and The Tourism Management Institute, where he works with other industry leaders in developing policy and advocacy for the sector. Shaon also leads partnership efforts for Geotourist in Asia, Middle East and Africa.

Shaon holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy from the University of London, which helped him facilitate the deployment of essential medicines directly to the survivors of the 2004 Tsunami in South East Asia.
