Tamarind Global Turns 20, Celebrating Two Decades of Taking Experiences Beyond the Ordinary

Mumbai, 14th October 2026: Tamarind Global, one of India’s leading destination management and experiential travel companies, marks 20 years in the travel, hospitality and events industry, celebrating a journey that has evolved alongside the changing expectations of travellers, businesses and celebrations. Founded in 2006, Tamarind Global has evolved from a travel-focused enterprise into a multi-vertical organisation delivering integrated solutions across luxury holidays, destination management, corporate travel, MICE, events, destination weddings and social celebrations. As the industry has moved beyond conventional travel arrangements towards more personalised and experience-led offerings, the company has expanded its capabilities to deliver programmes that bring together travel, hospitality, logistics and bespoke experiences.

Over the past two decades, Indian travel industry has undergone a significant transformation. Greater access to international travel has expanded the possibilities for Indian travellers, destination weddings have emerged as a prominent segment, and corporate gatherings have evolved from conventional meetings into more immersive experiences designed to engage employees, clients and business partners. Tamarind Global has grown alongside these shifts, developing specialised teams, destination partnerships and operational capabilities to meet increasingly complex requirements.

Commenting on the milestone, Mahesh Shirodkar, Managing Director, Tamarind Global, said, “Twenty years gives you a unique perspective on how dramatically our industry has evolved. Travel has moved well beyond transactions to become about experiences, connections and the memories we create. We have continually adapted to these changes, but the fundamentals of our business remain the same: relationships, trust and the ability to deliver on our promises. Our journey would not have been possible without the people who have built this organisation, the clients who have placed their trust in us and the partners who have supported us across destinations.”

Holidays: Curating Journeys Beyond the Ordinary

Holidays remain at the heart of Tamarind Global, with bespoke luxury escapes, immersive cultural journeys, family getaways and tailor-made international holidays crafted around each traveller’s preferences and aspirations. Its destination expertise spans India and the world, bringing together exceptional hotels, distinctive experiences, trusted local partners and seamless travel arrangements. Through its inbound and domestic destination management capabilities, Tamarind Global showcases India’s rich heritage, diverse landscapes, cuisine and contemporary experiences to international travellers. Complementing this is a rapidly expanding outbound footprint, achieving tremendous success across both domestic and international markets. Every journey goes beyond the ordinary to deliver meaningful, personalised experiences that travellers cherish long after they return home.

Celebrations: Creating Moments That Last a Lifetime

Celebrations and destination weddings have become an important part of Tamarind Global’s portfolio, reflecting the growing demand for personalised experiences across domestic and international destinations. Delivering these programmes involves far more than event production, requiring the seamless coordination of guest travel, accommodation, hospitality, destination experiences, vendor partnerships and on-ground logistics. Tamarind Global’s teams bring these elements together to create celebrations that are distinctive, thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed.

Corporate: Bringing People and Possibilities Together

Its MICE and corporate travel businesses have similarly evolved as organisations increasingly use travel and events to strengthen relationships, recognise performance and bring people together. From incentive travel and conferences to leadership retreats, corporate celebrations and destination-based gatherings, these programmes require a combination of creative thinking, travel expertise and operational precision. Tamarind Global’s integrated capabilities enable it to manage these requirements through a coordinated approach.

Looking ahead, Tamarind Global plans to build on its established strengths while pursuing new opportunities for growth. Commenting on the company’s future direction, Louis D’Souza, Managing Partner, Tamarind Global, said, “As we enter our third decade, our focus is on building on our strengths while pursuing new opportunities for growth. We aim to expand our international business and strategic partnerships, strengthen our capabilities across Holidays, Celebrations and Corporate, and invest in technology, automation and smarter systems to improve operational efficiency and enhance the client experience. Our aim is to build a more agile, innovative and future-ready organisation, with sustainable profitability and personalised service continuing to guide everything we do.”

The 20th-anniversary celebrations will feature events throughout the year, recognising the collective contribution of the employees, clients, hotel partners, destination specialists, suppliers and other stakeholders who have been part of Tamarind Global’s journey, while marking the beginning of the company’s next phase of growth.

With a multi-locational presence and a team of over 400 professionals, 20 years is not simply a milestone for Tamarind Global to celebrate, but a foundation for what comes next: continuing to take travel beyond the ordinary, create meaningful experiences and build lasting relationships in an industry that never stands still.
