Who would have thought that you could discuss something as simple as "Water" for over 2 hours and still have more to explore?
Yesterday's podcast recording was one of those experiences, where I realized just how deep and fascinating even the most basic topic, like "Water," can be.
Stay tuned for an incredible episode featuring Mr. Ganesh Iyer, India's first certified water sommelier. He’ll share mind-blowing facts about water that you won't want to miss!

Working with Sayaji Hotels for the second time was a dynamic and enriching experience. Leading innovative projects, fostering strategic collaborations, and building a cohesive team culture were key highlights. This period not only enhanced my professional growth but also deepened my connection with the Sayaji brand.

Despite tea being a staple drink in our country, there is surprisingly little awareness about it. During my podcast conversation with Rohan Sirohia, I had several awe-inspiring moments. I highly recommend this episode to everyone who considers themselves a “Tea Person” like me.
Here are a few key points that stuck with me:
1. India produces an astounding 1,000 million kilograms of tea for a population of 1.4 billion. (Isn’t this data surprising?)
2. All types of tea—black, green, and even white tea (yes, white tea exists!)—are made from the same leaves, just processed differently.
3. What constitutes bad tea? Well, there’s no such thing!
And of course, a life lesson to wrap it all up:
Growth doesn’t happen in your comfort zone. Goodwyn Tea, despite being in retail for years, couldn’t achieve its current success until Rohan ventured into the specialty tea segment with a bit of innovation, taking a bold risk that paid off.
Check out the episode now and immerse yourself in the world of tea like never before!

Embracing challenges at Marriott Indore, I knew success meant hard work and stepping out of my comfort zone.
Grateful to be part of the pre-opening team for two hotels and witness the world's largest hospitality company in action.

Chai is an emotion and so is it for me. Today's podcast shoot was an absolutely interesting one; a literal "chai-pe-charcha" where we discussed Indian tea culture; origin of Goodwyn Tea and so much more.
Stay tuned for this amazing episode with Mr. Rohan Sirohia .

Entrepreneurship is often described as a roller-coaster ride, and June has been a thrilling one so far!
We kicked off the month with a productive business trip to Goa with the entire director team. While the beaches were tempting (Goa is undeniably amazing), our focus was on productivity. We had intense strategy sessions and brainstorming meetings that left us creatively charged and pleasantly exhausted – the hallmark of a successful entrepreneur retreat.
A huge shoutout to Craftels for their exceptional hospitality! Their stunning space provided the perfect setting for our focused work sessions, turning business meetings into genuine friendships. And speaking of @Craftels_India, there might be some exciting collaboration news on the horizon... stay tuned, Sarvagya D
But the hustle doesn't stop there! We have an exciting lineup of podcasts coming up, so keep an eye out for those.

Being associated with Hyatt was undoubtedly challenging, but it was worth it. It was the first time I truly felt a sense of success.
When did you first experience this feeling? Let me know in the comments.
"The team that gets you to your first 100 crores may not be the team that gets you to the next 1000 crores."
As entrepreneurs, we start with a passionate, scrappy team. They wear multiple hats, put in long hours, and celebrate every milestone fiercely. This fire gets us to our first 100 crores. 🔥💪
But here’s my take on this:
1️⃣ As your company grows, your needs evolve. You’ll need specialists with deep expertise.
2️⃣ Processes that worked for a small team can become bottlenecks. Invest in robust systems.
3️⃣ Leading a passionate startup crew is different from guiding a large organization. Leaders need to delegate, empower, and focus on strategic vision.
Building a team for the next 1000 crores might mean letting go of some who were instrumental in the first 100. Recognize the need for new skills and foster an environment where growth and adaptation are celebrated. 🚀🌟

My podcast with Vikramjit Singh was released yesterday, and I hope it's as informative to everyone waiting for it as it was for me.

Vikramjit's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to chase your entrepreneurial passions.
For anyone considering taking the plunge, this episode is packed with valuable insights and inspiration.

Every entrepreneur can relate with me to this one feeling.
We always talk about our team, our partners but never talk enough about that one person who gave us the strength to accomplish all of it just by making us; and that's Mother.
To me, My mother has stood by my side like a strong rock that has always been the source of ultimate strength whether it be business, health or family.
Thank you Maa. Happy Mother's Day! ❤️
Mr. @ravishswarup is my mentor and I am always thankful to him for what he has made me into. Even after all these years, sitting beside and having a chat; every discussion was a learning to me.
Forever thankful for the invaluable lessons and guidance.

You know a podcast or discussion is truly exceptional when you catch me wearing that expression, and my team knows it all too well. There are times when we wrap up the shoot in under 50 minutes, while at other times, the conversation can extend to a whopping two hours.

I always say that hotel owners are a different breed than hoteliers. This podcast shoot was with someone who recently transitioned from being a hotelier to a hotel owner. When I sat down with the former president of Lemon Tree Hotels and now the founder of Alivaa Hotels & Resorts , Mr. Vikramjit Singh, the conversation only got better with every aspect of his career and how Alivaa Hotels & Resorts is coming to life being unveiled. Stay tuned for the full episode; in the meantime, here's a sneak peek of how the podcast shoot turned out.

Every time I take a step closer to my goal, the feeling is different. This time, it was joining the Radisson Group of Hotels—a new brand, a new city, and new responsibilities—that gave me all the motivation to do better. Working with Radisson felt like being one step closer to achieving that goal.
What step do you think comes next?

Such a profound and emotional moment on 'Connecting The Dots'!
I had the incredible privilege of hosting the man who has been my guiding light, my mentor, and the father-figure I owe everything to, Mr. Ravish Swarup.

The conversation was filled with heartfelt reflections, wisdom, and memories that will stay with me forever. I can't wait to share this deeply personal and inspiring episode with all of you. Stay tuned for this most-awaited conversation that means so much to me.

I don't take client meetings much these days; but when I do, I always make sure to get the most information out of it.
Usually, hotel owners have hotels as their secondary source of income. Recently, when I had the opportunity to interact with some hotel owners through a few meetings, I once again got validation on how this industry has a lot more to see in terms of both revenue and growth. From geopolitics to aviation to medical fields, the new age hotel owners belong to all kinds of professions because this is where the growth and money of new India lies.
In conclusion, the diversity of backgrounds among today's hotel owners reflects the multifaceted nature of the hospitality industry and its potential for substantial revenue and growth. From geopolitics to aviation to medical fields, individuals from various professions are finding opportunities in hotel ownership, underscoring the promising prospects that the sector offers in the evolving landscape of India's economy.
