In the heart of Rajasthan’s golden sands, where culture whispers through every stone and history lives in every grain of desert dust, stands a man whose life is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and protecting the legacy of this timeless land — Mr. Dheeraj Purohit, proudly crowned Mr. Desert 2025.

This journey took me across iconic properties

  • Senior Executive at Ramada, Jaipur
  • General Manager at Jawahar Niwas Palace

From Passion to Profession: A Journey in Hospitality

My journey began in 2007, when I passed out with a degree in Hotel Management, fueled by a deep love for service, culture, and travel. I was fortunate to start my career with Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur, where I underwent industrial training and was soon promoted for Management Training — an early validation of my commitment and potential.

One of the most treasured chapters of my life was serving as Personal Manager to Late His Highness Maharawal Brijraj Singh Ji, where I not only learned about royalty and grace but also imbibed the spirit of devotion to one’s roots.

Later, I expanded into business development roles with Stay Simple, followed by heading operations as General Manager at Pride Resort, Ranakpur.
