Hi, I’m Muhammad. I was born and raised in Abu Dhabi, studied hotel management, and eventually found my way to ITC Fortune Resort in Ooty, The Nilgiris, where our family has settled down. Alongside that journey with ITC for four years, I also earned my MBA in Human Resources.

Living the rhythm of hotel life, I learned what truly makes a stay feel personal and meaningful, and that taught me that great hospitality isn’t about perfection — it’s about making guests feel seen, at ease, and at home.

Maanasam Farmstay is a thoughtful creation that brings all of that together — a quiet, hilly terrain in the countryside, on our farmland in Kerala.

It’s not a resort with bells and whistles, but a simple, mindful space to just be. A place to slow down, pause, and reconnect with nature.

It’s more than a place to stay — it’s a space to breathe.
