We had the good fortune of connecting with Sangeetha Ramkumar and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sangeetha, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
The whole idea started with a road trip in the summer of 2020. My husband and I camped for part of the trip in the Tetons and Yellowstone National Park. I’m not an avid camper, he is, but it was such a transformative experience – being so close to nature, waking up to all that natural splendor – it was very inspiring. Many months later the experience germinated an idea that led to a full blown glamping project.

I would definitely take them to Dunya Camp! It’s such a unique getaway in Georgia
