44 Q PQ CQ is greater than IQ,” believes Vipin Khattar, General Manager, JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity. He goes on to explain, Emotional, Passion and Curiosity Quotients will always take you farther than only Intelligence.”
Golden words, indeed!
Coming from someone with more than two decades of extensive experience in the hospitality industry, this work mantra should resonate well and deep with every hospitality professional.
Read on, for more such words of wisdom in our interview with Khattar himself, the dynamic hotelier who’s had a tremendously rewarding career journey in the world of hospitality in India and abroad.
You have spent more than two decades as a hospitality professional in the UK, Middle East and Africa. How does it feel to be back in homeland after a long stint abroad?
It feels like a homecoming, and with JW Marriott New Delhi, am excited to passionately elevate and solidify the stellar performance of the hotel in the Aerocity sector and the Delhi market.
One of my key priorities, currently, is to enrich the strong culture of the exceptional JW treatment for the hotel’s guests.
What triggered your interest in the hospitality industry?
| did a post-graduate degree in hospitality operations at the IHTTI School of Hotel Management in Switzerland and moved to the UAE post that. noticed the hospitality’ bug within myself at a very early age. Being the go-getter that am, pursued my dream career and landed in Dubai.
The fact that I come from a family of doctors and engineers is a lesser known detail about me. My father, a dental surgeon by profession, was clearly taken aback by my desire to work in the hospitality sector.
