From One Mountain Home
to America's Coastlines
Before LuxStay, before real estate, Manish Paliwal was building power plants. His career began with Mitsubishi, Japan — developing large-scale energy infrastructure across international markets. That early experience forged something that never left him: a deep passion for large-scale development, the discipline of building things that last, and the intersection of ambitious physical creation with the technology that makes it work.
That foundation carried through two decades of enterprise technology and finance leadership — and eventually into a conviction: the vacation rental industry was underserving the guests it was supposed to delight. Where most people saw a simple accommodation market, he saw a development opportunity. Curate the right properties, build the right systems, deliver an experience worthy of the locations.
That first Snowshoe property in 2016 was the proof of concept. Guests didn't just return — they wrote letters, sent photos of their children on the slopes, and rebooked before checking out. The response was unambiguous: there was real, untapped hunger for hospitality built around the guest, not the owner. The rest is the story we're still writing.
