Mr. Arnav Kumar
(Executive Director of
Daivik Life LLP )
The youngest from a family
of business mavericks, Arnav
Kumar is eager to revolutionise
the Health & Wellness Industry
with his energy, passion, and
vision. His Great Grand Father
established one of the very first
premium five-star hotel groups of
India, Clarks Group of Hotels, and
Arnav is keen on carrying forward
his legacy by amalgamating
hospitality and wellness. He is the
Executive Director at Daivik Life
LLP, Indus Intex Private Limited,
Indus TECHPARK Private Limited,
Brijrama Hospitality Private
Limited, The Indian Textiles
Company (Kolkata) Private
Limited, and Co- Founder of Dolci

Born and brought up in the garden
city of India, Bengaluru, Arnav
completed his International
Baccalaureate at the United
World College South East Asia,
Singapore, and graduated with
Bachelors in Engineering from the
University of Warwick, UK.
Soon after, he joined his family
textile business to learn the
ropes and get familiar with the
functioning of the industry.
He jumped in hands on into
the everyday running of Indus
Intex, a company focused on
manufacturing men’s wear.
Indus Intex was the first vendor
for the Vanity Fair group in India,
which started in 2002. Under
this arrangement, the company
handled some of their leading
brands such as North Face, Lee,
Wranglers, Vans, and produced
a major chunk of Vanity Fair’s
total woven orders across all their
brands.
Being an integral part of Indus
Intex, the inclination to learn,
and the desire to do more, drove
Arnav to reinvent the factory to a
flexible manufacturing unit, which
could manufacture garments in a
highly competitive environment
with profitable margins. Arnav has
taken the company successfully
into unchartered territories.
To further his creativity, Arnav
decided to follow his passion, to
help others help themselves. To
do so, he began researching in
the health and wellness industry
on November 2016 by conducting
primary and secondary forms
of research. His research led to
him attending several discourses
around the world such as
Vipassana. The application of
his research was put to use
when he opened Bangalore’s first
Urban Wellness Centre, RESET,
on February 2019 in association
with world renowned health
expert, Luke Coutinho. He has now

application of Artificial Intelligence
in the medical field of diagnosis
as he believes, to help someone
on preventive or curative health,
“diagnostics precedes treatment.”
Additionally, along with his
Grandfather, Father, and Brother,
Arnav has successfully opened a
unique heritage, 32 room, boutique
hotel, Brijrama Palace, on the
Ghats of Varanasi, which in less
than three months has become

for hotels in Varanasi. Arnav’s
family’s heritage begins from
Varanasi, leading to an innate
passion from him and his brother
to continuously work on tourism in
Varanasi and the people.
A hotelier at heart, Arnav also Co-
Founded Dolci Desserts & Pizzeria
with his mother, Ms. Shipra Kumar.
In his spare time Arnav loves to
play football, cook and work to
protect the environment.
