MUKESSH JAMNADAS GURNANI (MJG) CELEBRATES A DECADE OF THAKURJI’S DESTINATIONS LLP AND ALMOST TWO DECADES OF LEADERSHIP IN INDIAN LUXURY TRAVEL
From Purpose to Prestige: The Founder Behind India’s Most Trusted Bespoke Travel Brand Marks a Milestone of Passion, Precision, and Principles
Mumbai, India | August 2025 —
In a world of instant bookings and one-size-fits-all packages, Mukessh Jamnadas Gurnani (MJG) stands apart as a rare name who has made luxury travel deeply personal, culturally conscious, and consistently trustworthy.
As the Founder and Director of Thakurji’s Destinations LLP, MJG is celebrating two defining milestones in 2025
• Almost 20 years of industry leadership, and
• 11 years of Thakurji’s Destinations LLP, the brand he launched in 2014 to bring thoughtful, vegetarian-sensitive, high-integrity travel planning to the forefront of India’s outbound market.
Today, Thakurji’s is recognized as one of India’s most refined boutique travel companies a name synonymous with discretion, detail, and design-led global journeys.
A Journey That Began Long Before the Brand
Though Thakurji’s was formally launched in 2014, MJG’s career in luxury travel began well over a decade earlier. Starting in the early 2000s, he immersed himself in every layer of the business from operations and vendor relationships to guest preferences and cross-cultural logistics.
Before we had a brand, we had a belief that travel should feel like it’s been created for you, not just arranged,” says MJG.
This ethos became the guiding principle behind Thakurji’s a brand that now caters to high-net-worth families, legacy clients, and NRI communities seeking tailored holidays across Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, USA, Africa, Maldives, Seychelles, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
What Thakurji’s Represents Today
More than a travel company, Thakurji’s Destinations LLP is a privately held, founder-led luxury atelier, built on
• Deep cultural and logistical expertise
• End-to-end customisation
• Ethical and transparent pricing
• A commitment to vegetarian and Jain lifestyle integration in global itineraries
• Seamless execution across family travel, celebrations, and slow luxury getaways
Thakurji’s does not rely on social media trends or flash promotions. Its growth has been quiet, organic, and reputation-led, sustained by referral-based trust and long-term client relationships.
A Private Conversation with MJG
Q: What defines a Thakurji’s experience
MJG: Intentionality. Whether it’s a two-week trip to Switzerland or a private island escape in the Indian Ocean, we never treat journeys like commodities. Our role is not to sell — it’s to curate.
Q: What are clients expecting today that’s different from 10 years ago
MJG: They want comfort, yes, but they also want alignment — with their beliefs, their food choices, their pace. Families, in particular, are seeking a balance between global exposure and personal values. That’s where we come in.
Q: What’s next for Thakurji’s
MJG: We’re thoughtfully scaling — integrating AI-based backend tools to enhance itinerary precision, lead time efficiency, and planning intelligence. We’re also open to select investment collaborations that align with our core values of integrity and bespoke service.
Crafting the Next Decade
As Thakurji’s enters its second decade, the future is both tech-enabled and soul-driven. MJG remains committed to
• Enhancing operational depth with intelligent systems
• Strengthening destination expertise across lesser-tapped regions
• Building an agile, high-touch service model rooted in ethics, not algorithms
His vision is clear: “Scale should never mean sameness. We’re here to preserve the art of handcrafted travel.
