RYANGAZDER
Ryan has been part of the founding team since the
company’s inception in 2004 and currently spends his time
between Dubai, Singapore, Montenegro and the CIS (he
insists he spends a lot of time living out of a suitcase but we
think he’s been visiting a lot of fancy hotels).
A fourth-generation hotelier and a graduate from IIT
Bombay, Ryan discovered an inherent preference for the
hotel industry and has several years of prior experience with
a leading hospitality contracting firm in the Middle East &
North Africa region, handing a combined total of projects
worth over USD 180 million in a previous role.
With an experienced background in F&B and hospitality
operations, he applies his project management & technical
skills to our portfolio of iconic projects around the world and
enjoys high adrenaline aerial sports, paragliding,
paramotoring, endurance riding, martial arts, motorcycle
racing and mountain climbing when he gets time off.

PURVEZGAZDER
Purvez is a career hotelier and co-founder of the company
with vast hands-on experience with global hotel brands
across the Middle East, South Asia and Central Asia making
him a regional authority on hospitality operations and a well
known figure in the hospitality and catering business.
An old-school hotelier, he started his career at an early age
and worked his way across different departments in various
hotels, eventually developing a unique insight and
understanding across disciplines. This is what allowed him to
branch out with consultancy aimed at making hotel services
& relate processes more efficient, affordable, and ultimately
more profitable. He is sometimes referred to in inner circles
as the Consultant’s Consultant.
We still don’t know how Purvez has so much energy and
dynamism throughout the day but we suspect this stems
from his genuine love for his life’s work. He is an amateur
recreational sports pilot and spends equal time with his
family in Mumbai, Dubai and Australia.
