The Personal Story Behind Meraki

Bidhatri Chaudhary, the driving force behind Meraki, has a multifaceted background that beautifully intersects with her current role in hospitality. With a foundation in marketing and her passion for modelling, she ventured into modelling at the age of 19, driven by creativity, strategy and self-expression. However, she embraced marriage and motherhood early on in life, which shaped her perspective and instilled resilience, adaptability and a deep sense of purpose. Balancing these roles with her career she says has been a rewarding journey, blending personal growth with professional achievements.

She joined Meraki with the heartfelt purpose of helping her father in law Mr Arun Chaudhary; revive and rebuild the business after a sabbatical during the pandemic. As a part of CG Holdings Hotels and Resorts, Meraki is a hospitality initiative driven by passion, Innovation and a commitment to creating exceptional experiences. This venture stands as a testament to their shared dedication to excellence in the hospitality industry.

This journey with Meraki for Bidhatri has been deeply personal which began in March 2021, intertwined with her motherhood experience. It marked a significant transition for her-from being a full time mom to balancing work and parenting. Often she would bring her daughter along with her, spending entire days together at the property while also building a team for Meraki. Her daughter became her little companion, helping with small tasks like watering the plants and simply being present. These moments not only shaped her journey but  also created a special bond and memories that will last a lifetime.

For Bidhatri, Meraki is more than just a business; it is a deeply personal endeavour rooted in family and passion. What makes Meraki truly special is its architecture, designed by Mr Arun Chaudhary himself. Every corner of the building reflects his vision and creativity, making it not just a space but a heartfelt expression of his craftmanship. This personal touch embodies the spirit of Meraki-pouring love, soul and dedication into everything they do.
