Sanjay first arrived in New Mexico in 1979 as a new immigrant and student, attending St. John’s College in Santa Fe; brought to NM by Plato and Aristotle, Aeschylus and Shakespeare, Kant, Baudelaire, Einstein, and Dante. It was the land itself, with its stark, bright light and dramatic landscape. New Mexico’s rich culture, along with many friendships kept him coming back.
Sanjay spent over 13 years working in operations, human resources, and real estate/construction, including managing several multi-store roll-outs for a number of San Francisco Bay Area retail companies including The Nature Company/Discovery Channel stores, The North Face, Illuminations, and Restoration Hardware. Sanjay finally returned to New Mexico in 2002, following the woman he loves and set down roots; investing in real estate to make Taos his forever home.
Sanjay has relished becoming a part of a community that is diverse, creative and serious. He recently was featured in the Enchanted Home Magazine October/November 2023 issue in the Why Taos Now? section. In addition to the Taos Soccer Coalition, The Taos Valley Friends of Anansi Charter School, Sanjay is a board member of the Taos Ski Team and Intermezzo of the Santa Fe Opera. Sanjay has served for six years on the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John’s College and presently serves on the boards of the Taos Land Trust and the Quail Roost Foundation. He holds a long-standing belief in the long term value of northern New Mexico real estate and his experience and knowledge are the ultimate guide to buying or selling property here in the beautiful Taos Valley.
Here in Taos he has relished becoming a part of a community that is diverse, creative and serious. There is nothing like involvement in the life and institutions of a community to build relationships and to make sense of how it all works. Sanjay's own interests and those of his step children have been his guide: he became a part of the Taos Soccer Coalition, a couple of Acequias in the Taos Valley, the Friends of Anansi Charter School, the Board of the Taos Ski Team and Intermezzo of the Santa Fe Opera. In addition Sanjay served for six years on the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John’s College which has campuses in both Santa Fe, NM and Annapolis, MD. Today he serves on the boards of the Taos Land Trust and of the Quail Roost Foundation. Sanjay believes in the long term value of real estate in northern NM. This has led him to study it, and to invest in it and he hopes his experience and knowledge will be a guide to buying or selling property here in the Taos Valley.
