Management Profile
Kalypso is run by three ex-Naval officers who have diverse qualifications and experience. Commander Samuel, the Managing Director, is a Naval pilot with over 4000 hours of flying experience and a qualified Interviewing Officer of the Defence Services Selection Board. Commander Thomas Zacharias, Executive Director, is an Electrical Engineer, a wild life enthusiast and a nature lover who has enormous experience in the wilderness. Commander Madhusoodanan, Director-Training, is a Deep sea diver (qualified from US Navy) and has undergone a ‘Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation’ training capsule conducted by the American Heart Association and the ‘Master Medicare’ course (essential first aid for ships without doctors) approved by Director General Shipping. The experience and knowledge of all the three officers are leveraged to the maximum in establishing and maintaining safety guidelines and practices.
Safety Framework
Our safety procedures are based on three major aspects:
(a) The safety procedures laid down by reputed international organizations
(b) Knowledge and Experience of the ‘Kalypso Team’
(c) Knowledge of local population
Certification
Since there is no agency in India who is authorized to certify companies involved in such activities, we follow the internationally laid down procedures modified to local requirements. The risk assessment and various other procedures are carried out in accordance with established international practices such as BS 8848, the British Standard for adventurous activities. We conduct activities for internationally reputed organizations like ‘Raleigh International’ (www.raleighinternational.org) and ‘World Challenge’ (www.world-challenge.co.uk).
Risk Assessment
All activities undergo thorough risk assessment at the conceptual, planning and implementation stages. Periodic reviews of processes are carried out based on experiences and feedbacks.
Casualty Evacuation
Casualty Evacuation is an aspect integrated into every activity we conduct. Suitable vehicles are kept stand by and location of nearest hospitals are identified.
First Aid
First Aid Bag is a part and parcel of the equipment and is available at the camp as well as at the location of the activity. When the activity necessitates or when the client feels the requirement, we even position a qualified doctor.
Hospital
For our camp at Suryanelli, the Harrisons Malayalam Hospital is at 15 minutes drive. For other locations, we ascertain the information of nearest hospitals.
Equipment
Most of the equipment we utilize is from reputed international and Indian suppliers. Our kayaks, cycles and rafts have been procured from international suppliers. Life jackets have been procured from international and Indian firms of repute.
Water activity
Water activities are conducted under the supervision of qualified personnel with quality safety equipment. Personnel are allowed to participate only with life jackets. Kayak or Boat is kept standby as an additional precaution.
