Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at IHCL, stated, “IHCL has been present in Chennai for over five decades. These signings are in line with our strategy of expanding our presence into emerging micro-markets of key metros. Such markets with planned industrial, residential, and social infrastructure offer substantial opportunities for multi-brand hospitality development. Solidifying our presence in the city, both Vivanta and Ginger are well-positioned to cater to the diverse demands of this integrated business city. We are delighted to partner with Dr GP Subash for these projects.”
