He completed his education with a post-graduate degree in medieval Indian history from Delhi University.[3][6] He also has an adopted daughter named Aadya Nath.[citation needed]
Career

He first came across the ruined 15th-century Neemarana Fort, about 120 km from Delhi, in 1981 while researching for a book on Shekhawati painting and frescoes with Francis Wacziarg, former French diplomat and resident of India since 1969.[2] After restoring two havelis in Rajasthan, they had developed enough expertise to take on the fort. Thus in 1986, they acquired the fort and, after restoration, a 12-room heritage hotel was opened in 1991.[citation needed] Over the years, they have acquired many heritage forts and palaces and converted them into successful heritage hotels, including Neemrana Fort Palace, Hill Fort Kesroli, Pataudi Palace, and Baradari Palace in Patiala.[8][9][10]
In 2011, Neemrana Hotels had 25 properties in 17 locations.[11]
Nath lives in the Nizamuddin East area of New Delhi.
