What triggered your interest in the hospitality industry? Where did it all begin?
I am truly passionate about the hospitality industry, and my journey began in Goa, a place synonymous with hospitality. Interestingly, it was my sister who first paved the way for our family into this dynamic field. Her ventures inspired me to follow in her footsteps, and today, we proudly stand as a family of dedicated hoteliers and graduates from prestigious institutions like the Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology, and Applied Nutrition (IHMCT&AN) in Goa.
My professional journey commenced in Goa, where I had the privilege of working in stand-alone hotels, national and international chains. Over the past decade, my association with Accor has been both rewarding and enriching. I've had the pleasure of contributing to various brands managed by Accor in India, working across diverse cities such as Candolim in Goa, Lavasa, and Mumbai in Maharashtra, and Hyderabad in Telangana.
