A young house, built on decades of hotelier instinct.
Founded in 2026, Nexus Hospitality has already delivered 30+ MICE programmes across four verticals, Conferences, Incentives, Brand Launches and Leadership Offsites, with a curated network of 20+ partner hotels across six key destinations: Lonavala, Mumbai, Alibaug, Igatpuri, Hyderabad and Goa.
We are deliberately boutique. Every account is led by the founder. Every site visit is done in person. Every event is staffed with the same crew that pitched it. That consistency is why pharma majors trust us with their flagship gatherings from day one.
The person behind Nexus.
With over three decades of practical leadership across the hotel and marketing industries, Mr. Laxman Rao is a hospitality professional shaped by the operational rigour of the field. Formally trained at the Institute of Hotel Management, YMCA Mumbai Central, he has built a career grounded in the discipline of running properties and programmes at scale. Today, he serves as Founder and Managing Director for Nexus Hospitality, based out of Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Lonavala. His vision for Nexus is unambiguous: build a modern, technology driven MICE house that anticipates evolving industry trends and consistently delivers exceptional experiences for India's most demanding enterprises.
The team driving Nexus forward.
A seasoned sales, marketing and business development leader with 29 years in the hotel industry. Vinod brings deep expertise across MICE, facilities and hospitality management, customer service and hotel operations, with a sharp specialisation in sales and marketing strategy. An accomplished administrative professional, he holds an MBA in Marketing.
Pavan built his foundation at the prestigious Don Bosco, Lonavala, completing both his schooling and college there. Drawn to the service industry, he pursued hotel management under the direct mentorship of industry veteran and founder Mr. Laxman Rao. After earning his Diploma in Hotel Management, he spent two years sharpening his operational and client relationship skills at Travango Hospitality. Recognising a gap in the market for truly seamless hospitality solutions, he teamed up with his sister, Lavanya Kunche, to establish Nexus Hospitality. Today, as Sales Lead, he bridges vision and execution, managing corporate partnerships that span rapidly growing startups to large enterprises with a tailored approach centred on every client.
Lavanya brings a rare blend of advanced digital strategy and operational precision to Nexus Hospitality. An alumna of Sophia College (Autonomous), University of Mumbai, she graduated with a Bachelor's in BMM (Journalism & Advertising) before pivoting into tech as a Product Manager at Jio Platforms. There, she managed massive digital ecosystems for JioCinema and JioTV+. Driven to master market dynamics, she moved to London and earned an MSc in Marketing with Merit from Queen Mary University of London. She now channels that international experience back into the family business, establishing Nexus Hospitality alongside her father, Mr. Laxman Rao, and her brother, Pavan Kunche. Lavanya leads accounting and operations, ensuring the company's internal infrastructure is as seamless, technologically advanced and robust as its hospitality services.
