I highly recommend Satya. He is one of my favorite chefs and an excellent restaurateur and manager. He is always very personable. He excels as a host, and his hospitality skills put others at ease. He treats everyone like family and carries a light of joy with him wherever he goes. Satya’s passion and dedication to his craft shine through in everything he does, making every experience with him truly exceptional. His ability to inspire and uplift those around him makes him an invaluable asset to any team.

Sathya and I worked together to get a restaurant up and running in Nashville, and I also help him with bookkeeping for some other projects he has going. He is amazing at pulling in the right staff, quickly weeding out the bad ones and getting everyone to work together as one. His bright personality and quick wit made him great with the customers who came in. He never seems to get overwhelmed with everything he has on his plate, and he seems to always be juggling more than the average human.

Guesthouse. I immediately felt so welcome and at home in his space. Sathyan is a networker and a community leader, he cares about his guests and makes us feel welcome in his home. What I appreciate most about Sathyan is that he shares his joy and success with others. He gives back to his community through work with his orphanage, organic farming, and is always ready to help plan or accommodate guests wherever he is. If you have a chance to meet him, consider yourself lucky. 🙂
