He carries the highly responsible position of Regional managing Director (India) & Director Development, StayWell Hospitality management Pvt. Ltd. quite lightly on his shoulders, but while conversing with him one could easily realise that his knowledge about the nuances of the business of hospitality far outmatches his young age.

Here it deserves a mention that Australia-based StayWell Hospitality Holdings is one of Asia-Pacific’s largest hotel management groups with six hotels in India within its operational ambit. Globally, StayWell Holdings and its parent company Prince Hotels Inc., offers a diverse portfolio of properties across a combined network of 75 open and operating hotels.

“StayWell itself has an existing network of 23 open and operating hospitality properties, with presence in Australia, middle-East, India, China, Indonesia, Singapore and the UK,” informed Rohit, who is responsible for leading StayWell Hospitality’s operations and vision in India.
