CEO and Director Shruti Shibulal, a Young Global Leader selected by the World Economic Forum, addressed the launch of the programme, stating, “This initiative is the product of a personal commitment I made at the World Economic Forum. My time as a co-lead of the Global Future Council’s workstream on Sustainable Destinations reinforced the importance of the human capital building to ensure lasting change. As an industry that accounts for a significant ratio of India’s labour market, hospitality is uniquely positioned to create forums for knowledge sharing and future shaping. This programme draws upon Tamara Leisure Experiences’ continued focus on sustainability by actively training and supporting the next generation of responsible hoteliers.”
