I’m Karma Choppel Bhutia, born and raised in the enchanting town of Gangtok, Sikkim — a place where the mountains whisper stories, and community ties run deep. My life’s journey has been one of self-discovery, resilience, and an ever-evolving passion for people, stories, and the power of human connection. From the football field to the center stage, my path has been anything but conventional — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From a young age, I was drawn to movement, energy, and expression. Sports played a central role in shaping my early years. Whether it was football in the monsoons or cricket on sun-drenched grounds, I found freedom and discipline in every game. It was in sports that I first understood the value of teamwork, focus, perseverance, and resilience — values that would later become the backbone of my journey as a host and communicator.
