As you are settling into your job, what’s it that most
excites you about your new role?
It’s an exciting career phase for me and I am now well-
settled at Novotel Hyderabad Convention Centre &
Hyderabad International Convention Centre in my new
role. What excites me the most is the opportunity to
create memorable experiences for our guests and exceed
their expectations. It’s an honour to work with a team of
passionate individuals and to foster a positive work
environment that promotes innovation, growth and
development.

With a large room inventory of 287 keys and a state-
of-the-art convention facility, what are the
innovations you plan to bring about to ensure the
growth and expansion of the dual properties under
your leadership?
We are constantly working towards innovations and
enhancing our service at NHCC & HICC. We would
further focus on developing and implementing
sustainable practices throughout the property to promote
eco-friendliness, reduce waste and appeal to the growing
market of environmentally conscious guests.
We would also work towards enhancing the food and
beverage offerings to appeal to a wider range of tastes and
preferences, including more plant-based and locally-
sourced options.
For HICC, we would enhance our services to create a
comprehensive focus for growth offerings. Overall, my
goal is to continuously innovate and improve the
properties under my leadership to ensure their long-term
success and expansion in the competitive hospitality
industry.

What is your favourite thing about this hotel?
There are so many factors that contribute to its success.
However, if I had to choose, I would say, that my favourite
thing about this hotel is the exceptional level of service we
provide to our guests. We prioritize creating a welcoming
and comfortable environment for our guests, and our
team consistently goes above and beyond to create a
sparkle moment for our guests.

Are you taking any steps to reposition NHCC as a
leisure destination?
NHCC is a tranquil oasis next to HITEC City, the IT hub
of Hyderabad. With 15 acres of sprawling landscaped
gardens around, a 287-room property, guests can leave
the city behind for a while and enjoy a revitalising break
surrounded by lush greenery in a serene setting and get a
feeling of being in a resort and yet being in the heart of the
city.
