THE ROAD AHEAD

They're not known as the 'Deal Makers' for nothing. For over 30 years, JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle) Hotels & Hospitality Group have been the world's leading hospitality advisor.

Their India chapter is no different. As the only IPC (International Property Consultants) in India and South Asia with a dedicated hospitality practice, JLL, completing 25 years in India, can be easily called the 'Leading Light' for the Indian hospitality industry. They work silently behind-the-scenes researching, procuring, negotiating and sealing deals within different segments of the hospitality industry to create products that are revolutionary.

So, who better than JLL to give us the real story about where the hospitality industry in India is actually headed towards? In an up, close and personal interview with the Managing Director of JLL India's Hotels and Hospitality Group, Jaideep Dang, we attempt to seek answers to questions on every hospitality professional's mind.

Warm, dynamic and a powerhouse of information on anything and everything related to the hospitality industry, Dang answers all our questions with patience and precision. Read on, for some wonderful insights on how COVID impacted the industry, its comeback and the road ahead for India.

Although JLL is a leading global provider of real estate and investment management services, it remains a force to reckon with in the Indian hospitality industry. We'd like to start the interview by asking you what exactly is the role JLL plays in the hospitality sector in India, since most people only seem to know you'll as the deal makers’ working silently behind-the-scenes.
