The Wankawala Organization:
A Story of Growth, Passion, and Integrity

Founded in 2005 by Managing Director Mihir Wankawala, The Wankawala Organization began with a vision fueled by resilience and a passion for excellence. Mihir’s journey exemplifies the values that continue to define the organization’s success.

A Dream
Rooted in
Determination

Mihir immigrated to the United States at the age of 11. After high school, he began to pursue a medical degree at Drexel University but soon realized his true calling lay elsewhere. Shifting his focus to business and finance, Mihir’s love for skyscrapers and urban development led him to the real estate and hospitality industry. The Wankawala Organization was born in 2005, with the acquisition of its first property, the Rodeway Inn Carlisle. Mihir balanced his corporate role at Verizon during the week while dedicating weekends to hands-on work at the hotel, including front desk duties, shuttle driving, room maintenance & more. This tireless work ethic & firsthand experience shaped his deep understanding of the hospitality business.
