KB Kachru, Chairman Emeritus and Principal Advisor-South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group (RHG) is an experienced hand in the hospitality industry. He not only brought the global chain to India two decades ago, he also built it into one of the leading hotel companies in the country.
Kachru succeeded by pioneering growth in metro cities and later venturing into tier II and III locations. “We recognised the potential of India’s robust domestic tourism early on and focused on establishing a first-mover advantage in strategic cities across the country,” he recalled.
Moreover, he identified the right owners and partners and worked on driving value for them. This mindset yielded continuous opportunities for RHG. He is currently the VP of Hotel Association of India (HAI), and has been making representations to various government agencies to make hospitality and tourism a national priority.
