The winners of the Hotelier India Awards 2019 have constantly innovated; they have devised efficient processes and they have helped create world-class hospitality assets. Each one of them is much-deserving of the awards they have received. Leaders such as Nakul Anand (Lifetime Achievement), Sanjay Sethi (Hall of Fame) and Atul Chordia (Developer of the Year) have set new paradigms that have transformed the Indian hospitality industry.

The Hotelier India awards salute not just the people on the frontline, but even those working at the backend of the business, helping to bring them into the limelight.

The fact that the winners were chosen by an eminent jury drawn from the industry itself makes it all the more special. By acknowledging and appreciating the hospitality industry’s outstanding members, Hotelier India is committed to honoring those individuals whose work elucidates the spirit of hospitality.
