The travel and hospitality sector in India is poised for a significant leap forward in the second half of fiscal year 2024, according to the latest 'TeamLease Employment Outlook Report'. This period, spanning from October 2023 to March 2024, is expected to witness a robust expansion in employment, with a special focus on strategic hiring trends, especially in the fourth quarter.
TeamLease Services, a leading staffing conglomerate in India, has highlighted the thriving trends within the travel and hospitality sector despite the challenging circumstances faced in H2 FY24. The sector emerges as a beacon of growth, displaying a substantial 68% Incremental Workforce Expansion. This promising trajectory is not just a marker of recovery but also an indicator of the sector's dynamism and resilience.
The analysis of the travel and hospitality industry on a city-wise basis reveals a landscape of growth with a strategic distribution of hiring. Mumbai, a key hub, leads the pack with an impressive 13.3% Incremental Workforce Expansion, underscoring its pivotal role in the industry's growth. Other major cities like Ahmedabad and Chandigarh are not far behind, each contributing significantly with 11.1%, showcasing a well-balanced approach to talent acquisition across the nation.
In terms of specific roles, the demand in the sector highlights Human Resources (HR) as a leading area. This underlines the importance the industry places on building a competent and efficient workforce. Additionally, roles in IT, Engineering, Office Services, and blue-collar professions also make substantial contributions. This diversity in demand reflects the industry's commitment to fostering a holistic hiring approach while fortifying and streamlining critical operations for long-term success.
Another significant factor contributing to the sector's growth is the ICC Cricket World Cup hosted by India. The Mastercard report reveals the multiplier effect of this global sporting event on India's economy, particularly emphasizing the notable contributions made by the accommodation and food industries. The event drew cricket enthusiasts from around the world, underscoring the broader impact of sporting and cultural events on both national and local economic landscapes.
Balasubramanian A, VP & Business Head of TeamLease Services, commented on the report, stating that the Indian hospitality and tourism industry has witnessed robust growth in 2023 predominantly due to heightened domestic travel. He added that this growth is expected to positively affect not only the hospitality industry but also adjacent sectors such as travel, aviation, ticket purchasing, and travel guides in terms of expanding their workforces. The hosting of the Cricket World Cup this year has been a significant factor in boosting the demand for workers in this segment.
The report underscores that a substantial 68% of employers are interested in incremental workforce expansion, indicating the sector's growth opportunities. Mumbai remains a pivotal city, while other cities like Chandigarh and Delhi consistently commit to talent acquisition. Roles in Human Resources, IT, Engineering, and Office Services are particularly in focus, reflecting a strategic talent acquisition approach aimed at sustaining sectoral success.

JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar has added a bold new chapter to the city’s luxury social scene with the launch of EL – The Portal to Elsewhere, a rooftop destination that redefines elevation through design, flavor, and imagination. More than a bar, EL is an immersive experience, a state of being that invites guests to rise above the ordinary.
The journey begins on the staircase leading upward, setting the tone for an experience suspended between reality and reverie. Once at the top, guests are welcomed into a world where architecture, light, and rhythm converge, creating an atmosphere both intimate and exhilarating.
EL unfolds across three distinct yet interconnected zones. The BubbEl Room offers an elegant Champagne experience perfect for quiet celebration. Moving further, the Indoor Bar becomes the heart of the venue, where premium spirits and elevated cocktails invite connection and indulgence. Finally, the Open Sky Dining area opens beneath a canopy of stars, offering global flavors and refined dining that feel effortlessly chic.
Driven by the philosophy of “Flavors That Travel,” EL’s menu acts as a passport for the palate, weaving together influences from Japan, South America, and the Mediterranean. Dishes like citrus-infused tiraditos, artisanal grills, and shareable tapas are designed for evenings that linger, refined yet approachable, bold yet balanced.
The bar experience, aptly titled “Elevated Cocktails for Another World,” takes mixology to new heights with creative spirit-forward concoctions. Guests can explore across three moods—Citrusy & Fruity, Floral & Herbal, and Strong & Stirred, each representing a journey of flavor and imagination. Highlights include the truffle-infused Enchanted, the smoky and tart Topamine, the aromatic Elixir, and the warming, nutty Asgardian, each crafted to transport guests from the familiar to the extraordinary.
Speaking on the launch, Sachin Mylavarapu, General Manager, JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, said, “With EL, we’re reimagining what a bar experience can mean within modern luxury. JW Marriott Sahar has always been synonymous with exceptional hospitality, but this launch takes that promise to new heights, literally and creatively. EL is designed to become more than a venue; it’s an experience that evokes emotion, curiosity, and connection through flavour, music, and design.”
More than just a new venue, EL reflects the hotel’s spirit of evolution, bold, dynamic, and deeply attuned to its guests. It symbolizes JW Marriott Sahar’s ongoing commitment to crafting experiences that are timeless yet forward-looking, rooted in excellence yet alive with imagination.
As Mumbai’s skyline glows beneath, EL stands as the city’s newest address for those who seek something beyond the expected, a place where evenings don’t just unfold, they ascend.
EL – The Portal to Elsewhere. Elevate Yourself.
