Kush Kapoor, CEO of Roseate Hotels & Resorts, has shared his insights on Budget 2025, emphasizing its potential to enhance the hospitality sector and elevate guest experiences.
“The Budget 2025 includes initiatives that are poised to indirectly benefit the hospitality sector and enhance the overall guest experience. One of the standout measures is the provision of stipend for interns under government funding, which will play a crucial role in attracting fresh talent and strengthening our workforce. We anticipate that it will significantly improve our recruitment efforts and foster a skilled and dynamic team,” he said.
Highlighting the government’s commitment to supporting farmers, Kapoor applauded the emphasis on sustainable practices and natural farming. “This is a welcomed step that will improve the quality and availability of fresh, sustainable produce. With an increasing focus on personalized guest experiences, this aligns perfectly with the growing demand for organic, locally-sourced ingredients. It enables us to craft exceptional, bespoke culinary experiences for our guests while maintaining high standards across our supply chain,” he added.
On taxation policies, Kapoor expressed optimism about a leaner structure, stating that streamlined tax policies could improve profitability and operations. He also commented on the provision of a set salary for first-time employees, noting that while its application to the hospitality sector remains unclear, such initiatives would undoubtedly enhance recruitment efforts.
Kapoor concluded by emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices and workforce development for the hospitality sector in 2025. “The Budget’s focus on these areas, along with potential tax incentives, will undoubtedly play a significant role in helping us elevate the guest experience at Roseate Hotels and Resorts,” he affirmed.
As the hospitality industry gears up for another year of growth and innovation, the provisions outlined in Budget 2025 are set to create new opportunities for workforce development, sustainable sourcing, and operational efficiency.
