Excerpts from an interview.

About the challenges when you ventured into the Hospitality sector? What's the USP?

Yeah, initially there were a lot of challenges because it was something new to us. I think with time you learn and when you love your work and are passionate about the same then you take on all challenges with a smile.

We are very strict on the profiling, good food, proper ambience, good music, we do not compromise on any, that's our USP.

What are the post -covid effects on Hospitality?

It affected hospitality, yes. But for us as we have multiple other things, it did not affect us.

Hospitality is not our only bread butter.

How did you support your employees to manage through covid crisis?
