From a Village in Uttarakhand to India’s ₹100 Crore Resort Revolution; Meet the Man Behind SliceDeal.

In the quiet hills of Uttarakhand, a young boy named Dharmesh Chandra Joshi once dreamed of building something of his own. Raised in a small village where his father taught in a government school, Dharmesh didn't grow up with wealth but he grew up with purpose, grit, and values. By the time he was in the 10th grade, the vision was clear: he would one day build his own company.

That dream has now taken the shape of SliceDeal, a revolutionary brand that is not only transforming luxury resort ownership in India but also pioneering a new model of emotional real estate through fractional ownership. And at the heart of this ₹100 crore journey is a founder who bet on himself long before anyone else did.

The Early Hustle

Before SliceDeal was even an idea, Dharmesh walked the long road of entrepreneurship the hard way. After completing his education and taking the traditional job route, he made a bold decision in 2016 to walk away from employment and start something on his own.

His first startup was launched in his hometown. It wasn’t an instant success, nor was it easy. He went on to build four more ventures over time, each packed with hard-earned lessons. Scaling was a challenge, funding didn’t come easy, and finding the right team was tougher. But with every failed attempt, Dharmesh’s vision only grew sharper.

Then came the pandemic. Like many founders, Dharmesh saw his efforts reset to zero. But rather than give up, he used the crisis as a launchpad for reinvention.

A New Vision for Real Estate

SliceDeal wasn’t just another startup idea it was a personal mission. Dharmesh saw the opportunity in fractional ownership, a model that allows multiple people to co-own luxury properties. He envisioned not just properties, but curated experiences, destination branding, and emotional connection.

In 2023, SliceDeal was officially launched. From naming the brand to creating the backend automation, Dharmesh designed everything from scratch. He even engineered the digital onboarding journey, the ownership certificates, and the financial models. Every part of the company carries his fingerprints.

What sets SliceDeal apart is its deeply thought-out combination of hospitality, fintech, real estate, and lifestyle. It’s not just about buying a slice of a luxury resort. It’s about co-owning a dream without the headaches of property maintenance, bookings, or resale worries.

What SliceDeal Offers

SliceDeal offers co-ownership of premium vacation homes and resorts across India. Each resort is divided into 44 slices, with each slice giving the buyer 7 exclusive days per year across a nationwide network of resorts.

But ownership here is more than just property rights. Each buyer receives a personalised co-owner certificate, legacy-ready perks, and the emotional satisfaction of being part of something bigger.

Here’s what makes the SliceDeal model truly unique:

• Fractional Ownership, Simplified: Buy a slice of a luxury property without the long-term lock-ins. Enjoy flexible usage, easy resale, and zero operational stress.
  
  
• Founder-Grade Emotional Ownership: Slice owners aren’t just investors they’re part of a curated community. The entire experience is designed to offer a sense of belonging.
  
  
• Income + Lifestyle: Apart from enjoying your stay, you also earn. With rental yields of up to 20%, referral incomes up to 10%, and perks at retro-bars, wellness centres, and other partner properties, SliceDeal makes luxury not just accessible but also profitable.
  
  
• Instant Onboarding: Dharmesh has built a seamless onboarding system where, upon payment, the buyer receives an instant invoice, confirmation, and co-owner certificate—all through a fully automated digital process.
  
  
• No Management Hassles: All operations are handled by the SliceDeal team. Owners simply show up and enjoy themselves.
  

Building a ₹100 Crore Vision from the Ground Up

Today, SliceDeal stands as a ₹100 crore brand in the making but it didn’t come from flashy investor rounds or corporate teams. It came from grassroots-level innovation, sheer belief, and the relentless effort of a founder who learned everything the hard way.

What makes Dharmesh’s journey so compelling isn’t just the scale of what he has built, but how personally involved he is in every part of the process. From ideation to execution, every decision reflects founder-grade thinking. His past failures didn’t deter him they became the foundation of his current success.

A Movement, Not Just a Business

SliceDeal is more than a real estate brand, it's a movement to democratize luxury. Dharmesh is convinced that each person, no matter what his/her background is, must have an opportunity to receive high-quality experiences and revenue-earning assets.

Drilling into the fact that modern investment platforms have allowed a massive population flexibility in terms of time and financial commitment, SliceDeal is introducing a whole new wave of opportunity to the middle-income family and young professionals, and even first-time investors who would never consider the possibility of ever owning a resort property.

And the model is already resonating. As people seek alternative investments, experiential travel, and emotional value from purchases, SliceDeal hits all the right notes.

Looking Ahead

Dharmesh Chandra Joshi’s story is one of quiet persistence, bold pivots, and visionary thinking. From a village in Uttarakhand to building a future-facing real estate brand, his path has been anything but conventional.

But that’s what makes SliceDeal different. It isn’t a product of Silicon Valley thinking, it's rooted in real Indian ambition, built by someone who understands what it means to dream big from a small place.

As Dharmesh puts it, “This isn’t just business for me it’s a movement.”

And that movement is only just getting started.
