Vinod Maheshwari was born and raised in the serene hill station of Pachmarhi. Growing up in an Army Cantonment and studying at Kendriya Vidyalaya instilled in him strong values of discipline and commitment. His love for mathematics developed while helping in his family’s grocery shop, eventually guiding him to the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Bhopal.
He began his career through campus placement at Tata Exports, Dewas, followed by a Regional Manager role at OKS Speciality Lubricants, which took him across Madhya Pradesh. Later, working with Yale Industries in Baroda and Surat shaped his early professional and entrepreneurial insights.
With a family already running hotels in Pachmarhi and inspired by Gujarat’s vibrant travel culture, Vinod shifted from the corporate world to launch MPHolidays. The company steadily expanded with offices in Indore, Surat, Nagpur, and Ahmedabad. Alongside this, the family strengthened its hospitality footprint by developing Kanha Resort—originating from a leased property and built with the vision and craftsmanship of his father.
MPHolidays has since built a legacy of trust, earning consistent recognition as one of the Top Business Partners of MP Tourism and winning the Best Travel Agent Award three times.
Today, Vinod Maheshwari is a dedicated entrepreneur whose journey reflects discipline, passion, and an enduring commitment to travel and hospitality.
