Lexicon IHM gladly announces entering into an MOU with Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a prominent worldwide hospitality corporation with 26 distinctive brands and more than 1,100 sites throughout the world, with the goal of offering a full hospitality education. It is an element of a novel effort by Lexicon IHM to forge a strong partnership between the sector and hospitality education. This partnership presents an excellent opportunity for students at Lexicon Institute to gain valuable industry experience and knowledge from a global leader in the hospitality industry.

“By working together, we can provide students with hands-on experience and exposure to contemporary industry practices, preparing them for long-term success in their careers. We are excited to share our expertise and knowledge with the students and believe that this collaboration will not only benefit the students but also contribute to the growth and sustainability of the hospitality industry in India and beyond,”, says Arif Khan, Regional VP of Human Resources – India & Southwest Asia, Hyatt India Consultancy. 

A unique feature of this collaboration is the launch of India’s First Hyatt Classroom at the Lexicon IHM. Here, students will learn from the experiences of Hyatt industry experts, who will conduct Guest Lectures and Master Classes to share valuable insights and introduce them to contemporary industry practices. Further, the students will be assisted in projects where they can gain exposure to real-life hotel challenges. This will open internship and placement opportunities for the students to be exposed to a practical working environment.

The focus of this relationship is also to introduce future hospitality leaders to Hyatt as a brand and understand the Hyatt Brand Ethos and Core Values. A “Brand Advocate” appointed by Lexicon IHM, will collaborate with the Hyatt India team to project and inculcate an awareness of the different brands that fall within the Hyatt umbrella and culture.

“By working together, we can provide our students and desiring hospitality leaders with rewarding opportunities when they enter the field as ‘Day Zero Professionals’ and position them for long-term success,” says Nasir Shaikh – Group CEO of The Lexicon Group of Institutes, MultiFit, EduCrack & EasyRecruit+.
