EMPOWERING THE YOUNG

Natwar Nagar, Founder, The Job Plus and The People Network, tells Hotelier India why he has made providing livelihood to scores of youngsters and creating employment opportunities in the hospitality industry his mission for life

As India's leading job site for the service and hospitality sector, with a constantly expanding network, The Job Plus has become instrumental in turning many a young hospitality aspirant's dream into reality. Natwar Nagar, Founder, The Job Plus, tells us all about his passionate endeavour...

What triggered your interest in the hospitality industry?

I started my journey in the human capital advisory industry about 25 years ago when there were all of eight hotel brands with close to 100 hotels. The evolution and growth of the hospitality industry over the last two decades is testimony to the need for trained and skilled manpower. I believe that this industry has the most potential to absorb, empower and encourage the local youth for a better livelihood.

Over the past two decades, I have played an instrumental role in incubating and managing two of the most respected search firms in India HVS and Hotelivate. This gave me the ability to create long-standing relationships, receive industry knowledge and be committed to excellence which have contributed towards creating a strong track record of being the search partner of choice to all my clients.

Further, the displacement of a large workforce during the pandemic led me to start two of the most relevant and sought after companies - The People Network and The Job Plus. I aim at building an eco-system that is not only self-sustaining but also one that offers an experiential service for providing superior and assessed talent.
