Girish’s career began by managing his family’s Hong Kong - based OEM watch business where he eventually ventured into property development in 2001, with his own firm Hind Hotels & Properties Limited.

Acquiring a Hong Kong apartment complex, inspired by state-of-the-art boutique hotels in London and New York, the property opened in 2002 and eventually became the flagship of the Ovolo brand. Having grown up in Hong Kong, he later attended the University of Southern California, graduating in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and was honored with an Outstanding Alumni of the Year award from USC in 1992.
