A highlight of Gaurav Walimbe’s tenure at Wildflower Hall Shimla was the installation of an organic waste converter (OWC) for garbage disposal, which has resulted in an annual saving of INR 1. 6 lakh, besides being an environmentally-friendly move. He also initiated the insulation of the Spa Pavilion’s pipeline, as providing hot water to the outdoor spa facility in the cold climate was a massive challenge.
The pipe was laid three feet below ground level, which required lots of planning and coordination, but it ultimately saved the hotel INR 1.8 lakh per year in electricity cost.
