Nineteenth May was launched in 2019 under a strict operational mission: to transfer world-class luxury corporate hotel methodologies into an independent resto-bar, premium bakery, and fine banquet framework. The brand is spearheaded by Manouj Kaushikk, Founder and Director of MSMY Hospitality, who carries 20 years of active leadership across industry titans including Hyatt, JW Marriott, Rotana, and The Claridges.
Having directed high-end operations ranging from the flagship DLF luxury clubhouse to managing a 90-person hospitality task force at JW Marriott Chandigarh, Manouj infuses absolute operational rigor into Nineteenth May. Here, luxury is defined as exhaustive preparation—every dish format and server cycle is comprehensively rehearsed before reaching a guest.
