About

Asks the hard questions. Simplifies the complex.

Owners and developers bring him in before they build, to answer the questions that decide whether a hotel works: the site and its positioning, the operator or brand and its terms, and whether the feasibility is real. He has led more than 100 hotel, resort and mixed-use developments across India.

He began in hotel operations. He was Front Office Manager at the Radisson Hotel Delhi, spent nearly six years at the Yak & Yeti Hotel in Kathmandu, rising to General Manager of the 250-room hotel, and was Resident Manager of The Grand New Delhi, a 390-room five-star deluxe hotel. From 2012 to 2014 he was Hard Rock International’s development representative in India.

He is a director of ILC Services, Spectra’s club and leisure joint venture with International Leisure Consultants of Hong Kong, and the founder of Raht Hotels & Resorts, Spectra’s own land-led boutique brand.

How he works
  • Direct access, no middle layers
  • Founder-led strategy on every project
  • One point of accountability
  • Small team, fast execution
  • In it until it works

You have the land. The ambition. The opportunity.

We bring the insight, strategy, execution and people to bring it to life.
