SAMHI Hotels Limited, one of India’s leading branded hotel ownership and asset management platforms, in collaboration with the Indian School of Hospitality (ISH), has successfully concluded the SAMHI Management Development Programme (MDP), a bespoke initiative designed to nurture leadership and innovation among senior executives across SAMHI’s diverse hotel portfolio.
Launched in February 2025, the programme brought together senior leaders from properties managed under global brands such as Marriott and IHG. It was meticulously structured to combine theoretical knowledge with practical application, offering an immersive learning experience through workshops, case studies, mentorship, and hands-on projects. Participants explored a wide range of leadership competencies, from understanding finance and building people-first teams to sharpening sales and marketing acumen and mastering the art of storytelling, all essential elements in creating outstanding guest experiences.
Reflecting on the programme’s successful conclusion, Ashish Jakhanwala, Chairman, Managing Director & CEO of SAMHI Hotels Limited, said,
“The SAMHI Management Development Programme has been an inspiring journey. Seeing our leaders come together from different brands, exchanging ideas and learning from one another, has reinforced the value of collaboration and shared learning. The programme has equipped our leaders with the skills and confidence to navigate an ever-evolving hospitality landscape, and we are proud to see the growth, creativity, and innovation that has emerged from this first cohort. We look forward to continuing this journey with ISH, shaping the next generation of hospitality leaders.”
Dilip Puri, Founder & Executive Chairman at Indian School of Hospitality, shared,
“This Management Development Programme, a collaboration between SAMHI Hotels and the Indian School of Hospitality, was more than a set of classes. It was a journey through the many dimensions of leadership: understanding finance and seeing the story behind the numbers; diving into human resources to build people-first teams; sharpening sales and marketing instincts to connect with guests more deeply; and even learning the art of storytelling, because in hospitality, every great experience is, in essence, a story well told. To work with GMs of both IHG and Marriott hotels coming together and collaborating on projects was very fulfilling.”
Throughout the programme, leaders not only honed key management and operational skills but also collaborated across different brands, exchanging insights and experiences that strengthened both learning and camaraderie.
The successful completion of the SAMHI Management Development Programme stands as a testament to the shared commitment between SAMHI Hotels and the Indian School of Hospitality, to cultivate leadership excellence, encourage collaboration, and foster a culture of continuous learning that drives the hospitality industry forward.

Eros Hotel New Delhi is reinforcing its commitment to responsible water management during World Water Week 2026 by highlighting a range of initiatives focused on reducing water consumption, promoting mindful usage and recycling wastewater across its operations.
Organised annually by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), World Water Week brings global attention to water-related challenges and the importance of responsible water management. The 2026 edition is being held from 23 to 27 August.
At Eros Hotel New Delhi, water conservation has been integrated across guest areas, kitchens, back-of-house operations and public facilities through a combination of water-efficient infrastructure and awareness initiatives.
The hotel has installed water-saving aerators across taps in guest room washrooms, kitchens and back-of-house areas to regulate water flow and improve consumption efficiency. Public washrooms feature sensor-operated taps, helping reduce unnecessary water usage, while guest rooms are equipped with dual-flush WC cisterns that allow guests to use water according to requirements.
The hotel's sustainability approach also focuses on creating greater awareness among guests and employees. Water conservation tent cards placed in guest rooms encourage visitors to adopt mindful water-use practices during their stay. Awareness posters across kitchens and back-of-house areas further reinforce responsible water consumption among employees and operational teams.
A key element of Eros Hotel New Delhi's water management strategy is the 100% recycling of wastewater. Treated recycled water is utilised for horticulture and cooling towers, reducing the hotel's dependence on fresh water for selected operational requirements while ensuring wastewater is put to productive use.
By combining water-efficient fixtures, wastewater recycling and awareness programmes, Eros Hotel New Delhi continues to integrate resource-conscious practices into its daily operations.
The initiatives reflect the hotel's broader approach to making water conservation a shared responsibility among guests, employees and operational teams while strengthening its ongoing sustainability efforts.
Eros Hotel New Delhi is a luxury hotel located in the heart of the city, offering accommodation, dining and hospitality facilities for leisure and business travellers.
