Dhruv Thukral — Co-Founder

I build experience-driven hospitality brands rooted in culture, authenticity, and storytelling. I lead Asagao – The Japanese Kitchen and contribute to the strategic growth of Yuhi Hospitality, a boutique hospitality group offering Japanese-inspired hotels and guest houses in India. For over a decade, Yuhi has served Japanese expatriates and culture-focused travelers through thoughtfully designed properties in Gurugram, Rohtak and Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, delivering a genuine home away from home experience. Asagao—meaning morning glory—is Yuhi’s flagship Japanese kitchen, blending cultural respect with contemporary hospitality. It has been featured at platforms such as the Konnichiwa Japan Festival, showcasing authentic Japanese culinary craft. I spent five formative years of my childhood in Japan, shaping my appreciation for its culture, food philosophy, and attention to detail—principles that guide my work today. Alongside hospitality, I use content creation as a strategic storytelling tool. Through Instagram (@dhruvthukral7) and YouTube, I document motorcycle journeys, adventure travel, food, culture, and lifestyle, using exploration as a lens to tell grounded, experience-led stories. I believe strong brands are built where authentic product, lived experience, and narrative clarity intersect—whether through a memorable stay, a crafted dish, or a cinematic journey. Open to conversations around hospitality, culture, experiential brands, and content-led growth.
