Our Story

“Our goal is to run out of pages in our Passports”…….that’s the motto our Co-Founders, Suchna Hegde Shah and Yogi Shah live by.

We can go on and on about their travels ( after all they have travelled to over 95 countries ) but we will leave that to you to discuss when you meet them to plan your holiday.

Suchna is the one that makes sure that everything is super organized and all the I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed. She loves staying at BOUTIQUE HOTELS and enjoys sipping her wine. She brings the YIN to the team.

Suchna’s favourite destination is LAPLAND and she believes in SANTA😀

Yogi believes that LOCAL EXPERIENCES make the trip and can be seen chatting away with hotel concierges, taxi drivers and locals to find out the real experiences in a city. He is a foodie at heart and brings the YANG to the team.

Yogi’s favorite destination oscillates between Japan – where you can find him hopping between Izakayas and Israel – where he loves going on helicopter rides over Jerusalem.

Together they cover all the possible aspects that would help curate bespoke holiday experiences for you.

They have adopted a ‘people travel like us‘ concept and inculcated that learning to the entire team and no one trip is planned like the other. The team at The Villa Escape has also travelled extensively and at any given point (pre-Covid that is ), part of the team was travelling to some part of the world.

You can catch Suchna and Yogi every morning on RADIO ONE ( Mumbai’s English Radio Channel ) on Hrishi K’s Good Morning show where they are the TRAVEL EXPERTS.
