Indian School of Hospitality (ISH), a leading institution in Hospitality and Culinary Arts education, has named Kunal Vasudeva as its Co-Founder and Managing Director, effective from August 01, 2023.

Formerly the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Vasudeva's new role as MD aligns with ISH's integration into Sommet Education, a global leader in hospitality management, based in Switzerland. With a portfolio including esteemed brands like Les Roches, Glion, and Ecole Ducasse, Sommet Education's collaboration reinforces ISH's commitment to excellence. Vasudeva's responsibilities encompass expanding ISH's academic offerings, ensuring exceptional standards in line with global benchmarks, and leveraging the new National Education Policy to foster multi-disciplinary education of international caliber in India.

Dilip Puri, the current Founder and CEO of ISH, will transition into the role of Founder and Executive Chairman. "Kunal has been a part of ISH since its inception and has demonstrated his knowledge, passion and dedication in bringing ISH up to the level it is at in a short span of six years. I look forward to his leadership as we steer the institution towards a future full of opportunities with the rapidly changing landscape of higher education in India," stated Dilip Puri.

Reflecting on his new position, Vasudeva expressed, "Assuming the role of Co-Founder and Managing Director at ISH is a profound honour and a call to action. It amplifies our mission to position India at the forefront of global hospitality and culinary education, fanning the flames of innovation and setting world-class benchmarks. We stand at the cusp of India’s remarkable growth story. Our role is not merely to witness, but to actively contribute to this narrative by moulding a generation of learners who will raise the bar in the hospitality industry, globally. Drawing strength from Dilip’s transformative vision, we aim to transcend the conventional contours of education. We seek to foster a learning environment where creativity is ignited, where ideas are born, and where leaders emerge."
