Please tell us about your professional background.

After completing PGDHFM, I joined The Park Bangalore in July 2003, and worked there for three years. Then an opportunity to work with the Taj chain of hotels came up. I gathered experience at Taj Mahal Hotel and Taj Wellington Mews in Mumbai, Taj Tashi in Bhutan, Taj Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad, Taj Usha Kiran Palace in Gwalior, and Vivanta Bengaluru. I was with them for eight years till I joined The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group in January 2015.

What are your views on the growing wellness industry?

The wellness industry in India has evolved from being a highly unstructured ecosystem of the ‘90s to a more active sector today. With health and wellness coming into mainstream, this industry will see a massive boom in the coming years. Wellness refers to complete well-being that goes beyond any disease-free neutral point of the body, mind, and spirit. India is known as the land of Ayurveda, Yoga, and alternative medicines, branches that have evolved through the years. However, we do not give much credence to wellness, and have had a tendency towards sick-care and treatment versus preventive care and maintenance of overall well-being. People around the world are spending on a holistic approach which includes every aspect of life, even sleep. Globally, spas are no more a luxury, but a part of lifestyle, and therapies are needed to stay healthy and rejuvenated.
