The International Hospitality Council (IHC), London, took a path-breaking initiative in establishing April 24th as International Hospitality Day in 2016. This year, over 80 countries & some of the world’s premier hospitality institutions and icons celebrated their organization and people in a virtual ceremony. Rajeev had a very special guest with him – his daughter Mia!
Speaking on the receipt of the award, India’s favourite winemaker said, “When I started Sula a bit more than 20 years ago, lots of people were thinking “who is this crazy guy?”! I have to admit it hasn’t been an easy path, but when I look at what Sula has achieved, what my team has become, I feel super happy and proud. Receiving this award today by the respected IHC is an honour. Cheers!”
