Devika Pande is a third generation hotelier based in Nainital. She grew up reading, walking forest paths, gazing at the Himalayas and horseriding along the lake.

After a four year stint in Manipal at the WelcomGroup School of Hotel Administration, she returned to her roots, and has been successfully running her family legacy, The Grand Hotel, for the last 22 years, while also busy raising the next generation of Pandes to take on the world.
