His approach towards business is to keep it simple and transparent, focusing on the little details that make a huge difference in the client’s overall experience. He credits his success to understanding the perspective of his travel partners and their customers. His ability to act proactively, produce quick solutions, and embrace new challenges makes him a true professional. Never sitting idle, he is always ruminating over how to come up with better ideas to promote his beautiful country. He is backed by a young and vibrant team, who he considers an extension of his family.

When not working, Narendra can be found trying his hand at cooking. His rendition of the dish ‘Laal Maas’ is to die for.
For someone who has run over 25,000 km in over 25 cities around
the world, Travel being a passion is not surprising. What is surprising is his
energy and passion for the destination and product creation for travel
partners. Clocking twenty years in the industry Vinay was successfully involved
with various Luxury MICE and experiential FIT brands in India.
His other love is people and their cultures, fluent in French
his insight into travelers profile has ensured many a successful luxury operation both for incentive travel, small groups and individual curations for
FITs. Eager to see and experience places around the globe to connect with
people and show them the beauty of the subcontinent is his project for life,
one that he continued to excel at, even after all these years. Fitness is
mantra for him, while food and heritage are favourite subjects. Nothing describes
Vinay better than catching him running barefoot - he has run in the Himalayas,
in the Parks for Delhi, around the Louvre in Paris, the silent lanes of London
at night, in the cold mornings of Zurich. Awaiting more barefoot adventures,
Vinay is now a man on a mission, unstoppable.
Rahul Sarin is a curator at heart, and his greatest joy is assisting couples and families in crafting unforgettable and impeccable journeys. From the beginning of his career, Rahul’s operational excellence has been his forte. He honed his skills and gained destination knowledge, which made him an asset for Inbound operations and our partners.
A gym enthusiast Rahul is committed to fitness, one reason for his energy and hardwork. In his own words he loves sharing information about destinations, stunning and unique places in the country. His best reward is to have a happy guest, after travelling on one of his curated itineraries to return with cherished memories that last a lifetime. Travel is truly his muse and operations his strength. A team player Rahul is looking forward to crafting experiences for guests from all over the world.
With these few words, would like to mention that, Vinay has been my reliable partner for more than 15 years for the requests of my VIP clients in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan. He is an exceptional destination manager who understands and meets even the most complex requirements. His deep expertise and extensive knowledge of these destinations ensure unique and memorable experiences for travellers. I highly recommend his services for an authentic and worthwhile exploration of this wonderful region.

Je travaille avec Vinay depuis plus de 10 ans maintenant, j’apprécie particulièrement son professionnalisme et son efficacité mais aussi sa disponibilité pour le suivi des dossiers. Nous avons l’occasion de travailler ensemble sur l’organisation de voyages assez compliqués avec des clients très exigeants ou avec des demandes originales. En 10 ans de collaboration, tout s’est toujours parfaitement bien passé avec mes clients, je n’ai jamais eu le moindre retour négatif.

Plus de 10 ans que Vinay, veille au bonheur de nos hôtes. Notre collaboration prend force grâce à ce supplément d’âme qui fait que chaque voyage en Inde que nous créons devient une féerie, embellis par les conseils avisés que nous recevons pour proposer une nouvelle adresse, un site à ne pas manquer…Et puis il y a ce sens de l’hospitalité et de la courtoisie totalement inné chez Vinay et donne force et sécurité à une collaboration à distance.

SUCCES VOYAGE
J’ai rencontré Vinay lors notre arrivée en Inde avec notre premier groupe de voyageurs en 2011. Vinay avait construit notre voyage et a veillé sur chaque instant de notre voyage. Un voyage pavé de surprises comme nous n’en avions jamais vécues dans les cadres somptueux des anciens palais choisis avec soin. Et depuis 2011 nous avons toujours gardé contact et un de mes rêves et retourner dans cet incroyable pays ☀️ et laisser à Vinay le soin de construire ce voyage !

Je travaille avec Vinay depuis 5 ans pour l’Inde et le Sri Lanka pour ma clientèle haut de gamme et très exigente et je ne confierais mes clients à personne d’autre que lui ! Au-delà des feedbacks de mes clients qui sont revenus enchantés (qualité dans l’organisation, souci du détail, les surprises offertes pour créer un wow effect), j’apprécie aussi son expertise, la clarté et la transparence des informations, son Happy Face constant et so optimisme à toute épreuve. Vinay connait tout le monde en Inde, donc tout est extrêmement fluide, rapide avec une reconnaissance et une valorisation du client. « A l’impossible nul n’est tenu » …..Vinay en est le contre-exemple !
