Philippa Kaye

FOUNDER

For over 25 years, I’ve been driven by an insatiable curiosity to uncover and share the authentic essence of India. My journey began in 1998 with a life-changing experience – a simple day spent with locals in a remote, where the genuine warmth, rich traditions, and unscripted moments revealed an India far removed from the usual tourist circuit.

This encounter shaped my entire approach to Indian travel – one that focused on genuine connections and meaningful encounters rather than typical tourist trails. What others now call “off-beat” or “sustainable” travel, I’ve always seen simply as India’s true nature.

Changing Narratives brings together my expertise and passion for storytelling to help properties, experience providers, and destinations share their authentic  stories with the world. My unique perspective combines the intimate knowledge of being a 13-year resident of the country with the keen observation of someone who can bridge cultural understanding.

Throughout my career, I’ve been instrumental in shaping how international travelers experience India, from developing Indian divisions for prestigious UK and USA travel companies to managing a lodge in a central Indian tiger reserve.

My work through Indian Experiences has already established new standards for experiential travel in India, and Changing Narratives represents the natural evolution of this journey – bringing to the forefront the stories of India’s special places to stay, community projects, sustainable initiatives, and the myriad experiences that make India extraordinary.

A published author and recognized authority on Indian travel, my expertise has been featured in publications including Times of India and MINT. I continue to share insights through my blog while working closely with hotels, experience providers, and destinations to help them articulate and share their unique stories with the world.
