New Delhi, January 31, 2025: Set against the untamed wilderness of Lonavala, Della Adventure Training Academy (D.A.T.A.) Resort offers a unique blend of adventure, luxury, and military-inspired glamping. Inspired by his desire to build resilience and survival skills within civilian life, social entrepreneur, Hotelier Jimmy Mistry launched D.A.T.A. Resort, as a tribute to the valour and discipline of India’s armed forces, after the horrific attacks of 26/11. “Ever since Mumbai was attacked on 26/11 by terrorists, I wanted to seek revenge. D.A.T.A. was created straight out of my dreams into reality to prepare and train every man, woman and child with survival techniques for any adverse situation by some of the finest handpicked X special forces from Indian Army. I dedicate D.A.T.A. as a tribute to our city of Mumbai in memory of every single innocent life taken by the terrorists. And to ignite passion for our country,” he says.
