"S. Sarwan Singh Kalsi is a well known
Ramgrahia personality in
Kenya. He is one of the few Ramgarhias in
Kenya
who have become highly successful in Kenya
through extreme hard-work, honesty and
sincerity. Although he has earned immense
wealth and being a person of high integrity,
respected in all spheres of the Sikh
Community and the Kenyan business
fraternity, I have not seen any feeling of
pride in him, and found him to be an
extremely down to earth personality, which
indeed is a rare quality.

years of success in both the private and Government

After accessing the pulse of time in 1997, he ventured
into the Hospitality industry by purchasing a 151
bedroom beach resort in
Mombasa Kenya. Then in 2002 he purchased another popular
hotel property known as the Kenya Beach Hotel, and after
major refurbishments and changes renamed it to Kenya
Bay Beach Hotel, which started operations under a
newly established management team in 2003. This beach
resort has one of the largest beach frontages on world
famous sandy Bamburi beach in Mombasa, and is home to an
extremely large repeat clientele from Europe who have
frequented this hotel for over 20 years.
