Charvi and Jaymine Shah - The Entrepreneurs of India Magazine

Charvi and Jaymine Shah, the duo behind Love With Travel, have quietly crafted one of India’s most influential travel brands—one born not in a marketing boardroom, but during a self-planned honeymoon. Hailing from the small town of Himatnagar in Gujarat, their journey is steeped in authenticity, rooted in curiosity, and shaped by a decade of digital expertise. Moving to Ahmedabad marked a turning point not only in their personal lives but also in their professional evolution. Armed with years of experience in digital marketing, they began helping brands find their voice long before they found their own. It began as a digital strategy career and now, slowly, it has turned into a life of content, culture, and creation. They didn’t set out to be influencers. Their story unfolded one photo, one guide, and one honest review at a time. “We had our own story to tell,” says Charvi. And so they did—turning each destination into a canvas, every journey into a narrative.

Ten years ago, their honeymoon wasn’t just a romantic getaway; it was a discovery of freedom in travel. Instead of packaged tours and templated itineraries, they built their own adventure from scratch. It was liberating. And it planted a seed—what if other Indian travelers wanted more than mainstream tours? What if travel could feel personal again? Their first blog was born from that single question, long before the term ‘influencer’ found its way into bios and brand decks. Getting started wasn’t smooth. At a time when influencer marketing in India was still unfamiliar territory, they were carving a space without a map. Convincing brands to trust their voice and an audience to follow their journey took more than great photos. They were funding every trip, juggling full-time jobs, and doing deep-dive research for every single post. There were no shortcuts. There was just work. And vision.

Over time, their detailed storytelling and consistent output started attracting not just followers, but a community. The credibility they built transformed their recommendations into real-world results. Hotels they featured started getting fully booked. Boutique stays flooded with inquiries after just one reel. People planned their first international trips using nothing but their guides. The trust was real. Their content today gets over four million views each month on Instagram, with many reels crossing the one million mark. But it’s not just about the views. Their impact is visible offline too. During a trip to Vietnam's Phú Quốc Island earlier this year, they noticed that very few Indian travelers even knew the destination existed. Their content around the island led to a noticeable spike in Indian tourists visiting. That shift—watching a destination light up with new interest—wasn’t just validation; it was a full-circle moment.

Love With Travel has become much more than a content page. It's a voice many turn to when looking for honest travel insight. They’ve reviewed over 100 resorts, collaborated with numerous brands, and continue to serve their audience without ever losing their original tone: curious, honest, and experience-first. Their storytelling isn’t about grandeur—it’s about connection. Real people, real places, real advice.

Today, they see themselves building even deeper relationships with brands that share their values. They’re eyeing more offbeat destinations, more immersive formats like virtual reality, and developing their own travel tools to help followers create tailor-made trips without the noise. The idea is to keep the experience at the center, always.

They also believe in staying nimble. The digital world is unpredictable, and they’ve learned to listen—to trends, to data, and most of all, to their community. Their north star isn’t algorithms—it’s impact. It's knowing that someone trusted their reel enough to book a trip they were once afraid to take.

To those dreaming of starting their own path, they have simple advice: don’t chase numbers. “Find your voice and stay consistent,” says Jaymine. “Authenticity always wins in the long run.” Success, for them, isn’t measured by likes or brand deals—but by the messages they receive from couples and solo travelers whose lives have been changed by just one reel or blog post.
