“Some stories are written in ink. Ours — in salt, in sweat, and in soul.”
We began not at the summit, but at the soil.
Two brothers — my brother, Lindsay Bernard Rodrigues, and I — walking hand in hand with destiny, guided by the quiet strength of our father, Luciano, and the unwavering grace of our mother, Lourdes.
No spotlight. No shortcut. Just the sheer will to build. From those early days, Bennet & Bernard rose — not as an empire, but as a promise. Goa’s only true luxury real estate company born of its own earth. Crafted not from excess, but from elegance. Not for applause, but for purpose.
But our eyes were never fixed on borders. Today, we stand not on one shore — but across five continents. From Portugal’s charm to Africa’s soul, through Europe’s poise, Asia’s rhythm, and into the next unknown — wherever courage dares to go. We’ve grown not by ambition alone, but by passion pursued with precision. And now, the sea calls us home. The ocean is not a new chapter — it is our origin. Ours is a bloodline of sailors. From my father to us, the salt runs deep. But this time, we return not as sailors alone — but as builders, visionaries, and operators of the deep. Marine exploration is not our next venture — it is our inheritance, reborn. And alongside it, a new frontier: OTT storytelling. Because some legacies deserve to be lived… and some, to be told. We will craft stories that rise from the soil we once walked, and the waters we now cross. Stories of courage. Of craft. Of us.
Yet I have never stood alone.
At my side — Fabiola, my beloved wife, whose love is a harbour I return to. My sister Lucinda , quiet and constant. Varun, my friend, my shadow, my fire-forged ally. And the true heartbeat of Bennet & Bernard — our colleagues, our family.
They are not employees. They are the breath in the lungs of this legacy. Above all, I have walked every step upheld by faith.
“For He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)
It is the grace of Almighty God, our Father Jesus Christ, and the holy presence of Mother Mary that has guided me through storm and stillness alike. If half the mountain is behind me, it is only because I did not climb alone. Faith carried me. And prayer gave me breath when the winds rose.
This is not a business. It is a journey. A calling. A mission stitched together by memory, courage, and belief. From humble beginnings… to boundless horizons.
From salt to stone.
From dreams… to deeds.
And now — onward.
Ever beyond,
Lincoln Bennet Rodrigues
Founder, Bennet & Bernard
“Embrace the present moment, the ‘now’—this is the time for courage, to trust in your heart that you can and indeed will succeed. The world watches, perceptions already formed. Yet, I choose a different path, one that stays open to new experiences, to learning and evolving, to forging a new future.”
I seize fleeting moments before they slip away, transforming them into monumental achievements. These moments are supernovas—rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities—and I claim them as my own to create a meaningful impact on the world.
My leadership style is hands-on. I lead from the front, working alongside my team from ideation to execution. Challenges strengthen us, pushing us toward higher benchmarks. My team is not just a workforce but a collective of achievers. Together, we have built something remarkable, and together, we will continue to grow, innovate, and leave a legacy that endures.
