UNSTOPPABLE ASCENT

Mr Ajay Singh's journey has been one of steady growth and worthwhile success. Though not without its struggles, it is his sheer resilience and determination that have solidified his place as a noteworthy figure in Goa's hospitality industry. However, like many, Singh did not initially set out to join this field.

Hailing from the quaint city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, Mr Singh first followed his father's guidance and prepared for medical entrance exams, unaware of the world of hospitality. However, after a conversation with his elder brother about the growing scope of the sector, Mr Singh was persuaded to explore this path. He then pursued a Hotel Management degree from IHM Mumbai (Dadar Catering College), graduating in 2002.

Initially specializing in Food and Beverage (F&B) services, Mr Singh's early career revolved around this field in hospitality. Working at notable properties such as Taj Krishna, Hyderabad, where he spent three years as an F&B Associate. Mr Singh then decided to broaden his knowledge base by pursuing an MBA from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (formerly UP Technical University), one of the largest technical universities in India. He specialized in Sales & Marketing and HR Management, further complementing his education with a SAP course.

With the retail sector gaining momentum in India, Mr Singh ventured into this field, joining Daily Bread Gourmet Foods (1) Pvt Ltd in Bangalore as an Area Sales Manager. However, in 2009, the recession hit the retail industry hard, prompting Mr Singh's return to his roots in hospitality, a field where he had already established a reputation.
