Beyond the clinic, Dr Suyash Mandurkar — better known on Instagram as @suite_succes — explores the world through travel, food and creative storytelling. Born and raised in Ponda, he believes in living life to the fullest, whether through medicine, movement or meaningful experiences.
Travel and content creation
Travel has been a part of me since a very young age. Over time, my idea of travel evolved from simply visiting places to truly exploring and experiencing them—exploring their culture, people, history, and food. Photography is my hobby, but gradually, as the trend of making video content came up, that’s when I shifted towards videos and loved the process. That’s how my journey as a creator began.
Exploring food and culture
Cuisines tell a lot about a place, the people, and the culture, and that’s what makes me try out special and local cuisines of different places. The restaurants and food places I showcase through my content mostly offer a special cuisine with a unique experience. Now, in today’s world, you get global cuisines from different regions and countries coming up quickly and competing with our old and local gems as well. We in Goa have the luxury of finding so many options at our disposal, but at the same time, to keep our local traditional cuisines and cultures relevant in the market, we put in an effort to promote such places whenever we get the opportunity.
Content philosophy
My content is always centred around unique and meaningful experiences—whether it’s a hidden stay, a cultural story, or a special dish. I prefer collaborating only with brands that align with these principles. For me, content creation is simple: if I genuinely like something and believe more people should know about it, I share it. Trends come and go, but I try to remain true to my interests so that the process remains both authentic and enjoyable.
Showcasing the real Goa
As a proud Goan, I also want to showcase the real Goa—our culture, traditions, and hidden gems that often remain overshadowed by tourist stereotypes. From showcasing local practices to sharing bits of Goan history, I want people to see Goa beyond what meets the eye.
Health and wellness journey
Apart from travel, I am deeply passionate about health and fitness. Post-COVID, I became a certified health and wellness coach. I run a dedicated page Health Fit By Dr Suyash (@healthfitbydrsuyash) to spread awareness about strength training, flexible lifestyles, and debunking common myths around health and fitness. My goal is to make fitness accessible, practical, and sustainable for everyone.
Guiding principles
I strongly believe that content creation is a powerful medium—when done honestly, it can make a real difference in people’s lives. My guiding principles are simple: stay true to yourself, create content that adds value, and most importantly, enjoy the process. For me, it’s always about striking a balance between passion, creativity, and authenticity.
