Propelling Growth & Inspiring Success in the Hospitality Industry

Ayon Bhattacharya, Vice President, West India, The Orchid Hotels & Resorts

Take us through your journey as the GM of Orchid Pune and VP, West India.

In December 2017, I assumed the leadership of one of Kamat Khandan's biggest assets in Pune. At the time, the property was striving to establish its position in the competitive Pune hospitality landscape and was in the midst of transitioning to new technology, processes, and business outlooks.

Initially, I took a step back to analyze the gaps and assess the potential of the property, which was located in a strategic location and boasted the largest MICE facility catering to corporate, transient, MICE, and social segments. Through well-defined roadmaps and strategies tailored to each business segment, we experienced sizeable growth and took advantage of the increasing demand for commercial and business facilities in Baner and Balewadi.

However, our journey remains ongoing, and we must remain adaptable to evolving customer needs to continue making an impact in Pune. Last year, I was promoted to VP of West India, tasked with driving the growth and culture of the region's existing hotels and expanding our portfolio in West India through various transaction modules.

How is the Orchid Group unique in the hospitality space?

Orchid Group is setting a new benchmark in the hospitality industry with its exceptional eco-friendly practices and sustainable growth approach. Our company's mission is to prioritize our people and the environment over profit. Each of our hotels has been performing exceptionally well in their respective markets and segments.

Training & Retaining Workforce for Hotel's Success

Success of a hotel depends on the manpower. Staff, from the receptionist, who is the first step of the guest towards his hospitality during the stay, to the attendant who handles his luggage during his departure, help in the guest being attracted by the property and compelling him to stay at the same hotel on his future trips to the destination. The employees, it may be said, are the backbone or the mainstay for a hotel's success.
