Meet the passionate duo who turned a small Chennai ticketing office into one of India's most trusted luxury travel brands.
Often described by her clients as "a go-getter who makes the impossible possible," Renu Kriplani is the driving force behind the company's strong foundation of trust, reliability, and service excellence.
Her journey began in 1995 as a humble ticketing specialist with a simple yet powerful belief: no client request is too difficult when backed by commitment and expertise. What started as a focused ticketing service soon evolved into a comprehensive travel solutions company — expanding into visas, passport assistance, curated holidays, and end-to-end travel management.
Under her leadership, Baywatch grew from a two-person operation on Mount Road to a full-service luxury travel company serving some of Chennai's most prominent business families and High Net Worth Individuals. Her hands-on approach means she personally oversees every complex itinerary, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Over the years, her integrity and service commitment have earned the trust of a distinguished clientele, including many High Net Worth Individuals and business families across India who rely on her for everything from last-minute business travel to once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.
"If you truly understand your client's needs and commit to delivering excellence, there is always a way to make it happen."
For Manish, travel has never just been a profession — it has been a way of life. A global traveler since the age of 5, he developed a deep passion for cultures, destinations, and exceptional hospitality experiences that few in the industry can match.
Determined to offer only what he truly believes in, he personally travels extensively — not as an agent, but as a guest — carefully experiencing destinations from the perspective of his clientele. Every hotel he recommends, every DMC he partners with, and every itinerary he designs comes from firsthand experience and genuine conviction.
His strategic partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious luxury hotels — from Bulgari and Aman to Leading Hotels of the World — give Baywatch clients access to preferred rates, room upgrades, and bespoke experiences that are not available through conventional channels.
A major milestone came in 2025 when he successfully executed a destination wedding in Danang, Vietnam, hosting over 600 guests — a testament to his ability to deliver flawless large-scale events in international settings.
Today, he is expanding Baywatch's portfolio into wellness travel, building global alliances with leading wellness retreats and medical wellness experts to offer transformative restoration journeys.
"It is very important for me to personally experience every product, meet the hotel teams and destination partners, and only when I am completely convinced do I recommend it to my clients."
Three decades of expertise, personal attention, and a genuine passion for travel — let us design your next unforgettable journey.
