Expeditions are at the heart of our work. They allow us to connect directly with communities, gather insights, and implement impact full projects. To date, we have successfully completed three trans formative expeditions, with two more planned to achieve a total of five. Each journey is a testament to our commitment and vision.
Expedition 1: An Odyssey of Adventure
The acquisition of GREGAL was motivated by OPC’s broader social objectives. While the boat’s immediate purpose was to support Abhilash’s participation in GGR, its long-term vision was focused on pioneering HKC Expeditions. The objective: to leverage GREGAL for inspiring sea-based adventures aimed at exploration, community engagement, and fostering maritime heritage.
November 2022 - April, 2023 (Completed)
Expedition 2: A Journey of Discovery
Expedition 2 marked HKC’s first land-based journey, beginning in Mumbai and coinciding with the birthday of The Mother, co-founder of Auroville, Pondicherry. This expedition brought together a group of five friends from Normandy, France, who joined the journey to explore the diverse cultural and spiritual landscapes of India.

Expedition 3: A Spiritual Sojourn Through South India
Expedition 03 marked the continuation of our journey, building upon the momentum of Expedition 02 that began in Pondicherry. We set sail on August 15, 2024, a date rich with significance for India— marking both the country’s Independence Day and the birthday of Sri Aurobindo, the founder and spiritual leader of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry.
