His operational track record and ability to integrate sustainability into a hotels culture as a genuine business philosophy stood out to us. He has managed properties that are recognised for their environmental stewardship, and that experience is directly relevant to where we want to take the Radisson Blu Bengaluru Outer Ring Road. We are unwavering in our commitment to responsible hospitality, and having someone at the helm who has lived and delivered that commitment instills strong confidence in our future”.
