Mandeep Lamba has taken over as the President of HVS ANAROCK South Asia. He discusses about his new job role, how he is planning to grow the brand in India, and how different the new association is from the previous one!
How different is the new association from the previous one?
In terms of structure, it’s a JV, but of course, both the partners are extremely strong. ANAROCK is a substantial real estate consulting company and HVS is a global leader.
So, with the two companies coming together, there couldn’t be a better merger of opportunities in the real estate and the hospitality sector, and that’s why it’s going to be different from the previous venture. The strength of the two companies merged together is going to be substantial.
The earlier joint venture was between HVS and an individual in his own capacity. This one from that perspective makes it look very different because both the companies are extremely solid in their own space.
