“Travel isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about experiencing the world in a way that leaves a lasting impact on the soul.”

A global citizen molded by the vibrant streets of Mumbai, Hong Kong, Singapore, New York and London, Aanchal Gandhi embodies the essence of a modern explorer. With a background in finance at Goldman Sachs, she transitioned seamlessly into the world of luxury travel, driven by a passion ignited during her childhood adventures with her marine engineer father.

As a trailblazer recognized in the TOP 30 under 30, Aanchal’s journey epitomizes the fusion of corporate acumen with a profound love for personalized experiences. Her leadership in establishing OvationNetwork’s West Coast advisor community speaks volumes of her ability to cultivate connections and curate bespoke journeys.

Fueled by the ethos of “Beyond Limits,” Aanchal’s vision extends far beyond conventional boundaries. She believes in crafting experiences that enrich the soul, fostering connections that go beyond the ordinary. For Aanchal, travel isn’t just about exploration; it’s about immersing oneself in diverse cultures, flavors and experiences.

With empathy and a keen understanding of her clients’ desires, she creates unforgettable moments that leave a lasting impact, embodying the magic of hospitality and the spirit of adventure in every journey she designs.

Thiago Fortunato

CO FOUNDER

“In his world, luxury isn’t just about things that you see—it’s about how you feel.”

Proudly carioca, hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Thiago settled in New York City after earning a degree in Advertising. His travel career began in 2015 with Relais & Chateaux, a prestigious name in luxury hospitality. With a keen eye for the finer things and a knack for crafting exceptional experiences, he immersed himself in the world of five-star service, from assisting top travel agencies to designing high-end bespoke travel experiences for jetsetters across the Americas.

In 2019, Thiago’s career reached a significant milestone when he was promoted to manage sales for the northeastern US, Midwest, and eastern Canada markets, earning recognition as a brand ambassador. Over the next three years, he played a pivotal role in maintaining the association’s stellar reputation while introducing it to a new generation of luxury enthusiasts.

In 2022, Thiago embarked on an exciting new chapter in Los Angeles as the Director of Travel at OvationNetwork. Teaming up with Aanchal Gandhi, he empowered a community of talented travel advisors and made a positive impact on the West Coast market. Their collaboration not only elevated Ovation’s presence but also fostered a strong partnership that led to the creation of COZY.

For Thiago, travel was never just about business – his infectious energy and genuine passion for what he does earned him a spot as a loved figure in the American market solidifying his status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of luxury travel.
