Panchshil Realty, renowned for its excellence in India's real estate sector, has also made substantial strides in the hotel industry with its hospitality arm, Ventive Hospitality. Led by Founder and Chairman of Panchshil, Atul Chordia, Ventive has redefined what luxury, business, and leisure hotels mean in India. With his focus on growth, innovation, and sustainability, Chordia has propelled India's hospitality sector to new heights.
ATUL CHORDIA: A VISIONARY LEADER DRIVING CHANGE
The journey into hospitality began with a deep understanding of the local market in Pune, Chordia's hometown. In 2002, Pune had limited hotel options while its office market was expanding rapidly. Panchshil identified a gap in business accommodation and focused on creating hotels near office hubs and IT parks, addressing the growing demand for business travellers. Thus was born Ventive Hospitality.
"Pune is a major industrial and office market," Chordia explains. "With over 30 million square feet of office space and six hotels, Panchshil grew alongside the city, establishing a strong foothold in the commercial hospitality space."
The success in Pune set the stage for expansion into other cities, leading to the creation of luxury properties such as the Ritz-Carlton Pune, JW Marriott Pune, and more.
Chordia's leadership combines innovation with a design-driven approach, ensuring each property meets high standards of quality and sustainability. "One of our core strengths is our ability to build quickly, efficiently, and at a reasonable cost compared to typical hotel companies," Chordia says, underlining Panchshil's focus on design and construction expertise.
