How would you describe your leadership style?

“Leading by examples and directly into the field”

I consider myself as a team-builder and transformational leader as the success of any organization is directly related to its manpower which needs to be cohesive and enlightened to work towards the achievement of the mission and vision of the organization. I always set a benchmark along with the directions to achieve in every task that has to be accomplished which has helped me to achieve what others say is impossible.

What are the emerging features of the “Hospitality” industry?

“Offering a place for all people and all events”

The hospitality industry is often considered glamorous due to its association with celebrities. You always get a chance to meet and interact with national and international celebrities and professionals. However, we do cater to the needs of people traveling and staying away from home, we serve and experiment with Food and Beverage for every guest associated with us. Also, it is the most preferred industry to relax and rejuvenate and fulfills the requirement of meetings, convection, conferences and exhibitions as well.

What are some of the biggest challenges you see for higher education?

“Gaining student concentration in all aspects”

Skill development degrees like Hotel Management needs youngsters with skills but due to the invention of technology youngsters believe in doing easy work that is technology-driven. This poses a challenge as it becomes very difficult to engage young students to learn through practical means. Also, rising expectations of the students for higher package placements and inclination of youth to go abroad, in respect to earn good money and place themselves at higher packages. This results in the deprivation of skilled youth here in our country and affects the economy as well.
