Hyatt Centric Juhu has announced the appointment of Bhaulal Salunke as its new Human Resources Manager. Bringing more than 12 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Salunke joins the hotel with strong expertise in people management, talent development, and HR operations within dynamic hotel environments.

In his new role, Salunke will lead the hotel’s human resources strategy, focusing on areas such as talent acquisition, employee engagement, training and development, and building a workplace culture that reflects Hyatt’s global ethos of care.

Salunke began his career in hospitality through operational roles that involved extensive interaction with teams and people management responsibilities. Over time, he moved into leadership roles where he developed strong capabilities in workforce planning, team leadership, and organisational development.

His interest in supporting people growth eventually led him to specialise in human resources, where he has gained experience across recruitment, performance management, training initiatives, and employee engagement programmes.

Salunke holds a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Human Resources Administration. His academic background, combined with practical industry experience, has helped him develop a strategic understanding of HR practices within the hospitality sector.

One of the notable aspects of his career has been his involvement in several hotel pre-opening projects across Maharashtra. During these assignments, he played a key role in building teams, setting up HR processes, and shaping organisational culture. His experience includes contributing to the successful pre-openings of Hyatt Place Aurangabad Airport, Enrise by Sayaji Aurangabad, The Fern Igatpuri, The Fern Panchgani, and The Fern Residency Satara.

Speaking about his appointment, Salunke said,

“Hospitality is ultimately about people. Having worked closely with operational teams for many years, I understand the passion and dedication that hospitality demands. At Hyatt Centric Juhu, my focus will be on creating a workplace where colleagues feel supported, recognised and empowered to grow, because when people feel valued, they naturally deliver exceptional guest experiences.”

With his experience in hospitality HR and a people-focused leadership approach, Salunke is expected to further strengthen the employee experience and workplace culture at Hyatt Centric Juhu.
