THE PEOPLE WHO BRING ROYALTY TO HOSPITALITY.
The Team Behind
Sawai Hospitality
The team behind Sawai Hospitality is a remarkable blend of visionaries, custodians of heritage, and modern innovators, spanning three generations. United by a singular dream—to welcome guests as family and deliver immersive, authentic experiences—they bring Sawai’s ethos to life.
It all began with the Late Rani Sahiba Sushila Kumari Ji, whose vision of reviving her ancestral home, Fort Barli, planted the seeds for heritage hospitality. Her grandson-in-law, Anirudh Rathore, stepped up to transform this vision into reality, overcoming countless hurdles with passion and tenacity. His wife Mandvi Ranawat, with her impeccable eye for detail, infused charm and authenticity into every aspect, crafting spaces that feel like home.

Adding to the legacy are Umaid Singh Ji and his wife Vinay Kumari Ji—stalwarts in Rajasthan's tourism evolution. Thakur Saheb Umaid Singh Ji, with decades of leadership and unparalleled hospitality experience, has represented Rajasthan's heritage to global dignitaries, from Prince Charles to Bill Clinton. His wife, Vinay Kumari, transformed their residence, Fort Barli, into a luxurious and soulful retreat, upholding their commitment to meaningful stays.
Today, the 16th generation—Divyraj Singh and Nityasri Rathore—propels Sawai Hospitality into the future. Divyraj, with international hospitality experience for over seven years, leads the brand’s sales and marketing, while Nityasri lends creative brilliance, ensuring innovative designs and seamless operations. Devraj Singh and Satkriti Singh, with their unique expertise, continue to enhance Sawai’s operations while carrying forward its values of excellence and family warmth. The Sawai team stands committed to reimagining heritage hospitality. Guided by purpose, every member works with heartfelt passion to ensure every stay becomes a story, every meal a memory, and every visit a return home.
