Navneet Nagpal founded Spectra Hospitality Services in 2006 and leads the strategy on every project. He has more than 30 years of experience in hospitality.
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.
