The Indian hospitality sector is beginning to attract more expatriates than ever before due to the booming market. Economic Times said India is expected to add about 100,000 rooms over the next five years across all segments. Today, domestic hotels are competing against international hotels and are looking to expand their presence because of shortage of rooms in the country, Anupama Jaiswal , senior associate, HVS Executive Search, was quoted saying.The paper cited various professionals who have moved to India, such as Anirban Sengupta who joined as director , sales and marketing, for Accor’s Pullman in India. Sengupta , who was associated with Kempinski in Thailand decided to be part of the growing hospitality in India after the global recession, the report said.Similarly, Australian Bella Ramaswamy, who has worked in Muscat, New Zealand and Bangkok earlier, joined Ambience Group in Delhi as president of its hotel division. IHHR Hospitality, which runs Ista Hotels and Ananda, roped in British national Nigel Grocock as COO of Ananda . Royal Plaza in Delhi hired Alen Leflon as general manager. Movenpick Hotels and Resorts brought in Garry Morand from Kuwait as the general manager for its maiden property in Bangalore. This inflow of international talent is expected to gain momentum over the next three to four years as the influx of international hotels brands increases, the report quoted Rajesh Chauhan, vice president, human resources at IHHR Hospitality., as saying. As India attracts more international travellers, an expat professional’s familiarisation with international services according to brand standards was also a reason why hotel chains seek their expertise, said Shreenath Shastry, regional director, south at Knight Frank India.
