About this Episode

In this reflective and thought-provoking episode of The Matrix Green Pill Podcast, host Hilmarie Hutchison speaks with Abhishek Dadlani about redefining luxury travel with purpose, presence, and emotional depth.

Abhishek shares his transition from spreadsheets to soul-searching, how his early love for maps and cultures became the foundation of a transformative travel brand, and what it means to design journeys that don’t just end when the trip is over.

He dives into unforgettable itineraries—like a healing family retreat in Japan—and explains how Lush Escapes is elevating travel into a form of personal growth. From incorporating sustainability and local collaboration to shifting the focus from materialism to mindfulness, his work reflects a new definition of luxury: intentional, soulful, and deeply human.

This episode is a powerful listen for entrepreneurs, travelers, and anyone seeking meaning in motion. With wisdom on scaling a values-driven business and the importance of passion, empathy, and cultural consciousness, Abhishek’s story is a beautiful reminder that travel, when done with purpose, can be truly life-changing.

“I found myself constantly seeking out new cultures, hidden corners of the world and meaningful experiences that stirred something deeper.”
