About

A hospitality entrepreneur, sound engineer + Mass Media graduate by education, and someone who accidentally found his calling while traveling with a backpack. I left the studio life behind and started volunteering at hostels across India. By the age of 22, I launched my first property — Basti Hostel — and never looked back. Since then, I’ve hosted 100,000+ travelers from 90+ countries across 4 Indian cities through a growing portfolio of hostels and boutique stays under the Locomo brand — including Locomo Mumbai, Locomo Jodhpur, Locomo Express, and Locomo Boutique Goa. Today, I’m on a mission to build India’s most relevant youth lifestyle hospitality brand — one that blends design, community, tech, and culture into unforgettable experiences. Whether it's a bunk bed or a boutique room, I care most about how people feel when they stay — seen, connected, and inspired. I'm also the founder of Alt Labs — my “alt-er ego” — where I help aspiring hosts, property owners, and dreamers bring their alternative hospitality visions to life through consulting, training, and full-stack management services
