Business World Aerocity Live Magazine - March - April 2023

In this issue

I often thank the modern corporate culture for helping us overcome
many of the deep-seated notions we harbored for long. Notions of
superiority based on colour, caste, region, religion and gender were
so ingrained, we not only didn't questioned them, we laughed along
when popular movies made fun of people who were different from us.
Any difference became a subject of caricature.
I salute to the brave spirit of the service industry, especially hospitality,
who involve people in their growth story. In this issue dedicated to Diversity
and Inclusion in the Aerocity hospitality district, we bring to you interviews
of persons who have broken stereotypes and are performing challenging
roles in various departments of hotels. It could be Devinder Basera, working
at the Front Desk at Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd; Chandan, an employee with
hearing and speech impairment, working in-room dining and F&B service
at Andaz Delhi; or Ambika, fulfilling her ambition to be a chef at Holiday Inn
rubbing shoulders with largely male staff in the Kitchen.
The process of sensitization of the entire staff so that there is no hurt
or bias at workplace is equally commendable. Thus, Lemon Tree Hotels
Ltd actually trains its entire 6,500-strong staff in Indian Sign Language so
that they can communicate with their colleagues with hearing and speech
impairment. Such narrative of courage and empathy lends a new meaning
to ‘hospitality.
