Originally from Mumbai, India, Zeenia embarked on a significant life change in 2018 when she moved to Kenya. Before this transition, Zeenia carved out a notable career in the legal domain in Mumbai. She has worked at incredibly respectable law firms, where she honed her skills in both civil as well as corporate commercial law. This experience laid a solid foundation for her next role at the Walt Disney Company India Ltd., where she specialized in intellectual property matters, navigating the complex and dynamic world of media production and distribution with finesse and expertise.

As much as Zeenia enjoyed her fast-paced life in the legal world, she would have happily given it all up for her penchant for travel. Her curious personality thrives on discovering new places, traditions, food and ways of life. The sights and sounds of an unknown destination and the thrill of a new adventure make her spirit soar. Her relocation to Kenya following her marriage marked a pivotal turn in her life, re-igniting an already profound interest in luxury travel. She felt a deep, almost mystical draw to the continent, convinced that Africa was beckoning her to explore her vast landscapes and raw, unfiltered beauty. This passion for travel became the catalyst for ZIA - Travel Atelier.

Working alongside her husband Bobby, Zeenia forms one half of an ideal team. Bobby’s outgoing personality, extensive network, and understanding of diverse cultures complement Zeenia’s meticulous planning skills, attention to detail, deadline management and invaluable ability to assess and manage risks and solve problems efficiently and effectively.

Beyond her professional endeavours, Zeenia is a person of diverse interests and hobbies, which add depth to her personality. She is an avid sports enthusiast, enjoys reading, cooking, listening to and playing music and video games. Zeenia’s love for wildlife photography is an extension of her deep respect and fascination for the natural world. More than a hobby, it is a form of activism, using her talent to raise awareness about wildlife conservation.

Bobby is well-known for his leadership in the hospitality and tourism industries. As the Managing Director of Zuri Group Global, Bobby oversees the Group’s diverse portfolio of businesses in the hospitality and floriculture sectors across Kenya, India, and England. His entrepreneurial drive has been pivotal in propelling his companies to the forefront of their respective industries. Bobby’s expertise in hospitality led the Government of Kenya to his appointment as a director of the Kenya Tourism Board, where he played a significant role in boosting the tourism industry in Kenya. He envisions a more responsible, diversified and profitable approach to tourism, focusing on promoting Kenya’s varied landscapes and advocating for policies to enhance conservation, sustainability, accessibility and modernization in the sector. In 2023, Bobby was honoured by His Excellency President William Ruto as one of over 100 National Heroes during Kenya’s Mashujaa Day celebrations in recognition of his contributions to enterprise, industry, and philanthropy.

Bobby is not just a friend or an acquaintance; he is a memorable experience, a catalyst for unity, and a joyful presence in the lives of everyone he touches. He is the embodiment of an outgoing personality, a true social animal with an innate knack for communication. He thrives on connecting people, effortlessly bridging gaps across borders and diverse fields. His authenticity in communication is unparalleled, making him a genuine connector who understands and resonates with various perspectives. What truly sets Bobby apart is his deep empathy, allowing him to form meaningful and lasting relationships. This trait, combined with his vivacious spirit, makes him one of the most fun and engaging individuals you will ever meet. His presence lights up any room, and his ability to bring people together is nothing short of remarkable.

These exceptional qualities led Bobby to previously be elected as Chairman of the Nairobi Chapter (2016-2017) of the internationally renowned Young President’s Organisation (YPO), a prestigious organisation of which he has been a member of for 15 years. Throughout his YPO journey, Bobby has meticulously organised and championed several ‘only-in-YPO’ events, leaving its attendees gobsmacked at the uniqueness and exclusivity of each such experience. His tremendous success as a YPO leader and his willingness to go above and beyond what is expected of him has, for the second time earned him the role of Chapter Chair for the YPO Nairobi Chapter (2024-2025).  

Bobby’s love for all things equestrian transcends boundaries, both geographic and cultural. Known particularly for his enthusiasm for Polo, Bobby has become a familiar figure in the Polo circles of Kenya, where he not only plays but also immerses himself in the rich traditions of the sport. His journey in Polo has led him to travel extensively, each destination offering him opportunities to delve deeper into the nuances of the game. These travels are not just about mastering Polo; they're also about connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Through his equestrian adventures, Bobby has woven a tapestry of relationships enriched by shared passions and diverse perspectives, making him not just a sportsman but also a cultural ambassador of sorts, uniting people through the love of horses and Polo.

Bobby and Zeenia share a profound passion for wildlife conservation, making their journey not just a personal narrative, but a testament to the power of shared values and mutual goals, making a positive change in the world.
