This authentic grounding in yogic and spiritual practices has shaped a career dedicated to creating transformative wellness experiences that honour both ancient wisdom and contemporary hospitality standards.
With an impressive international portfolio spanning India, the Maldives, Canada, and now East Africa, Shubhum brings proven expertise in leading spa and wellness operations across world-class resorts, retreats, and five-star properties.
