(There was) stellar performance in banqueting and event catering, especially in wedding and institutional segments.”
In the last 24 months, it has signed 54 properties and opened 30 hotels across brands. “In line with the company’s ‘asset-right’ strategy, a substantial part of the recent room additions have accrued through management and franchising contracts.

The company’s presence has expanded to Tier 2 and 3 cities, where demand for premium hospitality is rapidly increasing. Business continues to witness growing interest amongst property owners to partner with its brands resulting in healthy generation of leads and pipeline of management contracts.
