India’s fastest-growing hospitality chain, Cygnett Hotels & Resorts, recently hosted its 7th annual GM Conclave in Jaipur, under the theme ‘Aggrandize Hospitality: Cygnett Horizons 2024.’ This event was a platform for discussing strategic expansion plans and key insights into the transformational changes within the hospitality industry.
Founder and Managing Director, Mr. Sarbendra Sarkar, announced Cygnett’s plan to open 15 new hotels with a total of 1200 keys over the next year. Ten of these hotels are already in the project and pre-opening stages. This expansion is a testament to the company's vision of innovation and cultural transformation. Upcoming properties include Cozzet Deera in Sonipat (41 keys), Cozzet Mahad in the Mahad Maharashtra industrial area (60 keys), and Cygnett Inn Airport in Jaipur (45 keys), all scheduled to open between June and August.
To support this growth, Cygnett plans to hire over 1,000 hospitality professionals and establish the Cygnett Learning Academy to address the talent shortage and train new aspirants. According to a recent report by HVS, Cygnett Hotel and Resort ranked second in new hotel signings in 2023.
During the conclave, Mr. Sarkar emphasized the importance of cultural transformation and innovation in driving the company’s expansion. He highlighted the rapid growth of domestic tourism and rising average daily rates (ADRs) as positive indicators for the hospitality sector. He also noted that increased government focus on infrastructure development is expected to further bolster the industry.
Sustainability was another major focus of the conclave. Cygnett’s Sustainable Plan 2025 includes initiatives such as energy-efficient technologies, water conservation, waste management, and improved transportation facilities. These efforts are aimed at aligning with global sustainability standards and reflect the company's commitment to environmentally responsible practices.
Technology also featured prominently in the discussions. Cygnett is investing heavily in digital transformation, particularly in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance guest experiences and operational efficiency. The company announced the upcoming launch of a mobile app for reservations and customer relationship management (CRM) systems to streamline guest management.
Chief Technology Officer, Mr. Shyam Bhethanabotla, explained that AI algorithms will empower staff and improve guest interactions through voice recognition and translation, offering personalized recommendations and experiences. This integration of AI is expected to transform business operations while maintaining a balance between technology and tradition.
Additionally, Cygnett announced the integration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) to enhance employee engagement and skill development. These systems aim to ensure that Cygnett maintains a motivated and skilled workforce, capable of meeting the organization’s needs.
The conclave concluded with an award ceremony recognizing the top-performing hotels, general managers, and corporate teams for their excellence in guest experience, operational innovation, and leadership. The event celebrated the relentless pursuit of excellence across all levels of Cygnett's operations.
The 7th annual GM Conclave provided a comprehensive look at Cygnett’s ambitious plans for growth, innovation, and transformational change in the hospitality industry, setting a confident roadmap for the future.
