Ashish knows what it takes to draw a crowd; good food is what we are talking about. An entrepreneur from the start, Ashish always had the zeal to make it big in the hospitality sector. Today, he is the CEO of one of the most successful hospitality names in India.

With the desire to do something new and creative, Ashish along with his wife, Nidhi, came up with the idea to provide serviced apartments for corporate travellers to Chennai. Soon after came Grey Suit- a business hotel on the outskirts of Chennai and a boutique property in Central Chennai.

Recognising the emergence in India of a rapidly growing tribe of urban, health conscious sports and food aficionados, Ciclo Cafe, India's first bicycling café was started in Chennai. The cafe has become a landmark on the busy Kotturpuram main road, and the hub of a bustling cycling community. Ciclo Café reflects Ashish’s creativity and innovation that aims at bringing cycling enthusiasts and food lovers together.
