The ATPI Group, the global travel management and events business, has announced a series of organisational changes within its India operation.
The new management structure follows the group’s recent acquisitions, including Griffin Marine Travel, Business World Travel in New Zealand and Plan B Travel in Australia. With the legal merger of ATPI and Griffin Travel now complete in India, a new specialist brand – trading as ATPI Griffinstone – will be led by Nitin Hardi, who takes on the role of managing director of the marine and energy specialist division.
As part of the restructuring of the operations functions, the ATPI Group has combined several specialist support functions to create its new International Centre of Excellence (ICE). As a result of these changes, Anna Singh becomes managing director of the shared operations centre, headquartered in Mumbai.
Hardi and Singh will be supported by Manish Batra, Griffin’s former general manager of finance, who will be in charge of finance for both businesses and all will report to the group’s regional managing director, Kiran Vinchhi.
“As the global leaders in travel solutions to the shipping and energy industries, it is vital that we have a strong leadership team in place to continue delivering the exceptional service that our customers know us for,” said Vinchhi.
“The elevated responsibilities of Hardi and Singh reflect the significant contributions they have both made to the company, as well as their track records in delivering innovation and strategic direction where it is most needed. I am confident that, with both of them by my side, we will be able to enhance our current business offering and succeed in reaching ATPI Group’s ambitious growth targets for 2016 and beyond.”
The ATPI Group now has more than 100 offices worldwide.
