HOTELIVATE: THE BEGINNING
Here, There, Everywhere, Him, Her, and Them. That, in a nutshell is Hotelivate. Curious? These are the names of offices and conference rooms at their headquarters in Gurgaon! With Manav Thadani, Achin Khanna and Megha Tuli steering this ship, the ethos is that of a dynamic, ever-evolving, constantly curious and highly collaborative approach towards problem-solving and serving client needs. Something as small as typical boardroom names in an office are then just a reflection of their quirky and innovative company culture.
Manav, a serial entrepreneur and trusted advisor in the hospitality sector, brings a wealth of knowledge and network to the table. His journey, from introducing professional consulting expertise in a market unaccustomed to it over 25 years ago, to establishing HVS South Asia and later heading its operations as the Asia Pacific Chairman, speaks volumes about his ability to identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
Achin, with his experience in hospitality finance, research and data analytics, contractual framework assessment, and overall hospitality business planning, first in the United States for a decade and then in South Asia over the past 17-years, added a unique dimension to the partnership. As the Managing Partner at Hotelivate and head of the firm's Strategic Advisory practice, Achin's expertise in consulting assignments coupled with his feverish passion for language and literature, allowed him to contribute a nuanced and comprehensive push to the proliferation of HVS South Asia for over a decade, leading into co-founding Hotelivate in 2017.
