Unlike typical coffee table books, this publication has been thoughtfully crafted as an archive of experiences accumulated over more than two decades. It masterfully presents the unique identities of Coorg’s renowned coffee plantations, Kabini’s flourishing wildlife ecosystems, and the breathtaking historical landscapes of Hampi through the creative lenses of various artists and storytellers.
Each chapter provides a unique viewpoint on these iconic destinations, capturing not only their mesmerizing beauty but also their intrinsic traditions, diverse biodiversity, and the communities dedicated to preserving their distinct characters. The compilation signifies Evolve Back’s enduring philosophy of fostering meaningful interactions with the locales where its resorts are established.
In combining an array of artistic expressions, the book aims to deepen readers’ awareness of India’s cultural and natural legacies while celebrating the individuals whose talents have contributed to its documentation.
The grand launch of this collector’s edition took place at an exclusive event at the Conrad Hotel in Bengaluru. The first copies were ceremoniously presented to Evolve Back’s esteemed Independent Directors, Bhaskar Bhat, Trustee of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and former Managing Director of Titan Company Ltd., alongside Hari Marar, Managing Director and CEO of Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL).
Esteemed members of the company’s Board of Directors and representatives from the Ramapuram family, whose connection to Karnataka has now spanned a hundred years, were in attendance, turning the occasion into a commendation of the family’s historical relationship with the land and their contributions to hospitality and destination-focused tourism.
Coinciding with the Ramapuram family’s century-long legacy in Karnataka, the publication pays tribute to the destinations shaping the company’s journey and ethos. As a collector’s edition, it introduces readers to the magnificent landscapes, biodiversity, cultural heritage, and local communities that characterize Coorg, Kabini, and Hampi.
More than just a visual feast, the book intends to preserve stories that might otherwise fade into obscurity, thereby creating a lasting cultural narrative for future generations. It also reinforces the family’s broader commitment to responsible tourism by highlighting the intrinsic relationships between hospitality, conservation, and cultural preservation.
During the launch event, Jose Ramapuram, Executive Director – Marketing at Evolve Back, articulated that the field of hospitality holds a unique opportunity to introduce travelers to remarkable destinations, all while safeguarding the special qualities that define those places. He emphasized that the Ramapuram family’s journey in Karnataka is anchored in a profound appreciation for the land and its communities.
This philosophy has inspired Evolve Back to chronicle the landscapes and cultural narratives synonymous with its destinations over the past two decades. Ramapuram aptly pointed out that marking the family’s centennium by honoring ecosystems and communities that continue to inspire the brand’s Spirit of the Land is both meaningful and relevant.
Evolve Back has announced that this collector’s coffee table book will become an integral part of the experience for guests across its luxury resorts. Copies will be placed in guest rooms, inviting visitors to delve into the stories behind Coorg, Kabini, and Hampi during their stay.
This initiative aims to encourage both Indian and international guests to develop a deeper appreciation for these destinations beyond their breathtaking vistas. By sharing narratives about local wildlife, heritage, traditions, and communities, the company hopes travelers will gain a profound understanding of the regions that shape its signature hospitality.
This approach resonates with a growing trend within luxury tourism where storytelling and cultural immersion are valued alongside personal service and comfort.
The launch of this collector’s publication represents more than just the release of a book; it is a visually and narratively rich archive celebrating India’s cultural wealth and ecological diversity. This is achieved through the creative works of artists, photographers, and storytellers who have dedicated their efforts to documenting these outstanding destinations.
As travelers increasingly seek authentic experiences grounded in local culture and heritage, initiatives like this affirm the vital role hospitality brands play in preserving the identities of the places they represent. By seamlessly blending art, conservation, and storytelling in a single volume, Evolve Back has crafted a potent tribute to the enchantments of Coorg, Kabini, and Hampi while cementing its commitment to responsible, destination-centric tourism.
