  • Esra Levent

    I am a proud native Istanbulite and have been a leader in the travel industry for 30 years.
    I have a track record of operating successful events and Turkey-wide logistics driven programs. My passion is matching up Indian families with their perfect locations, venues and suppliers in my country. I get involved from the very beginning of the planning process to actually being there on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly.
    Designing and co-ordinating exclusive Indian weddings in Turkish destinations which exceed my clients’ expectations on every level is my job. 
    Outside of work I am an avid cook, culinary art specialist and food activist.  I believe in increasing awareness about raising and eating fresh, healthy and locally grown food.

    I like to combine my hobby and profession: I am a passionate hobbyist in digital technologies and an experienced professional in event technologies. A keen sportsman, I enjoy long cycling tours through Turkish countryside as well as relaxation on beautiful beaches on the Turkish Aegean Coast.
