The Clarks Hotels and Resorts strives to redefine Indian hospitality with a global perspective. Rahul says, “We are committed to transforming the brand into a premium experience provider both within India and internationally. Our five-year growth strategy includes deeper penetration in Sri Lanka and expansion into key markets across Europe, East Asia, the Middle East, and Africa - while staying rooted in operational excellence and trusted partner relationships.”

Strategic Diversification

The Clarks Hotels and Resorts began as a domestic success story, steadily building a reputation through a sharply focused, asset-light expansion model. “Our evolution is one of India's most compelling hospitality narratives. We have consistently achieved high net room growth of 14 per cent through strategic diversification across segments,” Rahul reflects.
