We created Ecomantra Group with a vision to build a 360˚ experiential lifestyle ecosystem compromising of experiential hospitality & travel, and sustainable retail where people can seek and experience a richer, more harmonious and enriching life.
Our goal is to transform ways of life into more holistic, minimalistic & slow living by curating and creating authentic and real experiences. This is offered in a nurturing yet sustainable environment to achieve your quest for personal creativity, discovery and exploring the world. More than just the best ways to travel, learn and wellness though, this is a movement toward balanced and meaningful lives.
We believe that people can live in harmonious ways on the blue planet and look forward to achieving Ikigai, a Japanese word which means ‘the reason for being’.
Ikigai encompasses joy, a sense of purpose and meaning, and a feeling of well-being so that we can achieve a true work-life balance by finding real meaning in what we do.
Come join us on this journey to seek and experience your Ikigai and like us find your reason for being.
Our vision is to be one of the largest Indian network of experiential content creators and influencers in hospitality, events & travel space.

Get Ecomantra Experiences to Create, Operate & Market Unique Experiences at Your Resort
Today’s travellers do not like to buy their holidays in bits and pieces from different suppliers. Different members of the same family & friends group seek different experiences from the same holiday! And yet the traveller wants a personalized & a complete ‘All-Inclusive Holiday’ that has something for everyone in a multi-generational family. And more importantly, they would rather buy a completely personalised holiday from a single supplier.
In other words, the hotel needs to become a tour operator and the tour operator has to enable the traveller to create a bespoke set of experiences on the fly that has something for everyone in the family.
This is where Ecomantra can step in. Drive your hotels & tours with original experiential content through us and a variety of offers in adventures and workshops.
Get Ecomantra Retail to Furnish Pure & Natural Textiles & Toiletries at Your Resort
Our design studio designs the fabric from the fibre stage. Presently we not only work with superfine cotton but have developed blends of cotton with Lyocell, Modal and Coolmax to enhance the handle and performance of the textiles.
The finishing technology used is a natural formulation that we developed and is certified Oeko-tex Eco Passport. It imparts anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-odour, quick-dry and soil release (including beverage stain-resistant properties). This technology considerably enhances the comfort and product lifecycle of the textiles.
