Hello! We are Seclude, a leading player in India’s home stay and boutique resort industry. We run affordable luxury villas in off beat locations, nestled in nature with all the amenities of the modern era. Our vision is to be the largest Indian player in Homestays and small boutique properties and turn them in to Hotels Home Style. Our differentiator is that we take on iconic homes, redesign them with our in-house team of experts and operate the properties to maximize guest experience. We have grown leaps and bounds since our inception and plan to grow to 500 rooms by 2027!

It started with a simple dream; to own a home in the mountains where one can rest peacefully, and now, this dream has cascaded into a booming business. Seclude started with a humble beginning in 2010, where each house was built by our Founder, Rohit Sethi, brick by brick.

In 2018, Ramit Sethi joined the fray. With his expert guidance, Seclude expanded at an exponential rate. Equipped with the knowledge gained from the first few homes built, we began take on more homes that were in direct need of some tender loving care. Keeping up with our ever-growing portfolio was a constant challenge for Seclude as we aim to keep each room and each space different from each other’s. In all our 120+ rooms, no two will the same.

ROHIT SETHI

Chartered accountant by day and a dreamer in his free time, Rohit Sethi loves travelling and authentic stories. In his search for a quiet getaway he journeyed far and wide seeking out places and experiences that the globe has to offer. Quiet holiday rentals, tucked away in hidden corners of the world, made him happy. What made him happy, he reasoned, would make others happy too. He decided to act on it and in 2009 gave the idea its first concrete form at Chechya-Nagri, near Palampur in Himachal Pradesh, India. Family and friends were delighted, other travellers followed suit.

Since then he has added many other unique places to the Seclude portfolio. Each of the properties in – Palampur, Ramgarh, Mussoorie, Lansdowne, Kasauli, Goa and Delhi – combine craft workmanship with unique interior design combined with modern technology. No two places are alike. Each is special, and each seemlessly embraces its natural surroundings and local culture. Seclude cares for environment and local populace. The homestays it offers exemplify this by sourcing produce from neighbouring markets, exploring local cusines and employing local talent.

RAMIT SETHI

For 30 years Ramit, remained the perfect Corporate guy. Gathering experiences and success, as a banker, with Standard Chartered Bank, A Partner at KPMG,, Member of the Startup team of Infosys BPO, and then Global Head BPO/ BFSI of Wipro. In his present avatar, he is an Angel Investor / Advisor / Mentor to companies who want to raise capital and achieve scale. Travelling the mountains with Rohit for Seclude, he had so much fun, he is now making this his journey. The whole persona of Ramit exudes efficiency and practicality. His greatest strength lies in solving complex problems with ease and clarity.

Each department is run with creative and passionate individuals who are striving to make an impact, all working harmoniously towards the same goal, to make Seclude India’s best branded homestay.
