ABOUT RAMAN THAKUR
I have spent years navigating ships, from tankers to container vessels and I’m currently serving on one of the biggest ships on Earth. ULCS 400m I’m a graduate in BSc Nautical Science from Indian Maritime University and my role as a 2nd Officer demands precision, calm under pressure and decisions that carry real world consequences. Every ship I’ve sailed has shaped me building discipline, leadership and the ability to stay sharp when it counts. But now, I’m gradually shifting course, toward business, leadership and personal evolution. I plan to pursue an MBA in the near future (2026), not just for a degree, but to better understand the kind of strategy and decision making that shapes the world beyond the bridge. Until then, I’m learning, Observing, Growing and upgrading myself one step at a time. I create short form content about life at sea, in the mountains and everything in between things I observe and learn along the way. I’m new to YouTube, but there’s a unique concept I’m working on something raw, relatable and deeply personal. If you’re someone who’s walking a similar path, from sea to shore or someone who values honest growth or even someone who simply wants to be a part of this journey where we mutually add value to each other’s lives - I would love to connect.
