The Indian hospitality industry is about to celebrate its unsung heroes – the General Managers.
The GM Awards, presented by ITP Media India with Hotelier India as the official magazine partner, is the country’s first recognition platform exclusively designed to honour the visionaries who lead India’s most iconic hotels. These are the people who ensure everything runs with clockwork precision; from the front desk to the boardroom.
More Than a Title – Celebrating True Leadership
This isn’t just another industry award. It’s a heartfelt nod to those who lead from the front, with strategy, sensitivity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. With categories that include Young GMs, ESG champions, Boutique and Resort GMs, and Service Residences, the awards also shine a light on future-ready talent and emerging game changers in hospitality.
A Jury That Knows the Industry Inside Out
To ensure fairness and credibility, entries are evaluated by an independent jury of hospitality stalwarts; respected names who’ve spent decades building India’s finest hotels. Their insights will help spotlight individuals who are not just successful, but who are redefining what great leadership looks like in every region; North, South, East, and West.
An Evening of Recognition, Glamour, and Gratitude
Set to take place on 18th June 2025 at the prestigious Shangri-La, New Delhi, the GM Awards ceremony promises an unforgettable night. Expect meaningful tributes, heartfelt speeches, and a celebration of the people who quietly power an entire industry; with grace, grit, and vision.
Not Just an Award – A Movement
The GM Awards isn’t just about handing out trophies. It’s about giving due recognition to the people who make hospitality happen, every single day. This is their moment. And it’s just the beginning.
