Anveer Mehta (he/him)
Age: 33
Organisation: SkateLifeGoa
Role: Founder and Community Leader
Location: Goa, India

Bio:
Anveer Mehta is a co-founder of SkateLifeGoa and Skateable Spaces. He began his journey in 2015 volunteering with The Barefoot Skateboarders, using skateboarding to drive social change in rural India. He has since designed Panjim city’s first government built skatepark and continues to support skatepark development, training programmes and community initiatives. His work spans storytelling, media and brand collaborations, all focused on growing skateboarding’s visibility and impact in India.
Why this work matters to them:
Skateboarding changed Anveer’s life. Building a community that connects people across different backgrounds, ages and social groups creates a strong sense of belonging and shared purpose.
What they hope participants take away:
The importance of community as a support system where people can learn, grow, share responsibility and support each other through both skateboarding and life.

These first impressions just hit different! 🤌🏼
No agenda. Nowhere specific to be. Just your first hello to a new place, soaking it all in, while your inner child gets excited for the days in store.

Over six days, the 3rd edition of Goa Open Arts Festival brought together a wide mix of practices, people and ways of engaging with art.
With over 8,000 people moving through the festival, 135 artists, musicians, filmmakers and facilitators, and close to 40 public programmes, the space stayed in constant motion. ✨
From performances and film screenings to workshops, talks and community gatherings, alongside 38 hands-on sessions, there was always something unfolding.
A big shoutout to everyone who made this possible, artists, curators, performers, facilitators, partners, volunteers and the teams working across the festival who kept things going as it evolved.
Goa Open Arts Festival really builds itself through these overlaps, through conversations, experiments, and everything that doesn’t always get recorded, so a big thank you to everyone who was part of it and shaped it. 🤍
If you were there, we’d love to hear from you. Do take a moment to fill out our feedback form, link in bio.
We’ll be revisiting the festival over the next few weeks, because clearly we’re not done with it yet. 🎞️😉
All essential cogs in the holiday machine! 🗺️😂
Tag your gang and tell me which side you fall on? Be honest 😉

Been drilling flow and flow flip for tooooo many years now... It was time to take it to feet 👣 And it finally happened, on the last day of the last rigs of the season here in Agonda 🙌🏾🤙🏾🥰💖
A common pattern emerges from all of the sports I love, which we can also apply to life in general: Fall/fail -> Learn from it -> Get back up and do it again -> Repeat. Results might take time, and the progress might be hard to see, but one day it will click into place and have you wondering why you thought it was so hard 😆🙏🏾☺️
Growth takes time, patience, and lots of stoke!
Thnx for the vids (@_vaibhavgupta and @thanuja_kartik ) and also thanks to the whole Highline squad for showing up day after day for pirate rigs and official rigs and bringing the stoke and the love. ☝🏾💗 Allez laaaaaaaa
Bonus footy at the end of me walking (which maybe I am also starting to enjoy 🤷🏽♀️) and trying some other stuff to feet…after several bounces. Gotta start somewhere ☺️

Ahangama, you delivered! 🌊☀️
A trip with the OG school buddies = the same familiar chaos, just in better locations! Highly highly recommend 💯
The group chat is already alive with plans for the next one 🤪
The fun of working hard through blood, sweat and tears to get it: A single movement and moment in perfect balance and harmony.
So, let me ask you. Are you having any fun?!
