Founder: Vidit Kishore, Postgraduate Alumnus – University of Nottingham

Luxury travel today is no longer just about booking a five‑star hotel or a business‑class ticket. True luxury lies in thoughtfully designed journeys, seamless logistics, and experiences that feel deeply personal.

This philosophy is what led Vidit Kishore, founder of Nine One First, to build a boutique luxury travel company focused on curation, trust, and detail.

Vidit Kishore, a postgraduate alumnus of the University of Nottingham, developed an early global perspective on travel, culture, and hospitality. Exposure to international environments helped shape his belief that travel should be immersive, personal, and meaningful — not transactional.

For Vidit, travel was never just about destinations. It was about moments — a quiet sunrise over desert dunes, a private dinner overlooking the Mediterranean, or discovering hidden corners of a city that guidebooks rarely mention.

Over time, however, he noticed something missing in the industry. Many travel companies had become transactional. Packages replaced personalization, and speed replaced care.

Nine One First was created to bring intentionality back to travel planning. The name reflects a guiding philosophy: Trust First. Experience First. Detail First.

Rather than selling fixed itineraries, Nine One First works as a travel curator, designing journeys around the personalities and preferences of each traveler.

Whether it is a honeymoon couple seeking romance, a well‑travelled couple looking for deeper experiences, or a family seeking comfort and discovery, each journey begins with understanding the traveller.

Today, Nine One First collaborates with premium destination management companies across Europe, Africa, and Asia, ensuring that every itinerary meets the expectations of discerning travellers.

But for Vidit, success is not measured by destinations booked. It is measured by memories created.

“Luxury travel should never feel like a template. It should feel like it was designed only for you.”

As global travel becomes more accessible, the value of true curation becomes even more important. Nine One First aims to stand apart by quietly crafting journeys where trust is always the first destination.
