SatiSH GOGINENI

Satish's journey into endurance sports began with his first marathon in 2007, followed by a deep dive into mountaineering in 2014. With a solid foundation in endurance athletics, he has completed 14 full marathons, including four World Majors, and has undergone advanced training in technical climbing to conquer some of the world’s tallest peaks.

In the Spring of 2022, Satish made headlines by double summiting two 8000m peaks: Mount Everest, the tallest point on Earth, and Mount Lhotse, the fourth tallest. He achieved this incredible feat in under 19 hours, becoming the fastest Indian to climb both mountains. Additionally, he is the first Indian civilian to ski 600 km unsupported across Greenland’s ice sheet, traversing from Kangerlussuaq to Tasilaq.

When he’s not pushing his limits in extreme environments, Satish works as a Financial Risk Manager at Bank of America and lives in San Francisco, California. Originally from Hyderabad, he moved to the U.S. to pursue higher education, earning both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Outside of his professional life, Satish is also an avid landscape photographer, capturing the beauty of the outdoors and showcasing the stunning places he explores on his endurance adventures.
