 Tell us about the most important guest you have ever hosted.
I would list all the Heads of State that I have hosted during my career span, and in particular senior diplomats from Israel, Singapore, Canada and Hungry.
What is the most valuable lesson you have learned, vis-Ã -vis the suppliers and vendors?
Deal with the best-known suppliers with absolute no compromise to quality.
What is the best thing about your job?
The buzzing, multi-cultural working environment and the opportunity to interact with the world’s crème de la crème.
The worst thing about your job?
The lack of a work-life balance is what pinches the most.
Which market or city do you find most exciting as an hotelier?
I have only worked in Delhi NCR and I think NCR is a very exciting destination, which still has mammoth potential for new hotels.
If not a hotelier, what would you be?
I like playing with numbers, revenue and stocks. If not a hotelier, I would have liked to take that forward and aspired to be a financial or stock analyst.
What’s the best way for a hotelier to unwind?
Sit in your hotel lobby from where you can watch your staff interact with the guests. It is also a learning experience.
Your pet peeve, as far as hotels are concerned?
No work-life balance.
When was the last time you booked yourself for a holiday?
Not been on a holiday in the last year.
