Manvendra Singh Shekhawat

Managing Director, Suryagarh, Jaisalmer, I Love Jaisalmer
India

Manvendra’s love lies in hotels, culture conservation, design, agriculture, and social entrepreneurship.

His work is a representation of a unique way of life, carefully preserving traditions of the past yet framing them in a modern idiom. His hotels, Suryagarh, Jaisalmer and Narendra Bhawan, Bikaner, take the path less travelled and his NGO “I Love Jaisalmer”, was responsible for launching Jaisalmer’s largest cleanliness and conservation drive.

Manvendra aspires to marry heritage, human potential, diversity, and technology to create regenerative ecosystems. Among other things, he is currently working on reviving a UNESCO World heritage site and conceptualising a 500 acre neighbourhood- a biome that explores the possibilities in the realm of best living development practises.
