Portfolio of 75 hotels in 40 destinations– our brands now include Sarovar Premiere, Sarovar Portico, and Hometel and restaurant brands Geoffrey's and Oriental Blossom.

" I love any restaurant with good light and a view of nature. I love crème brûlée, so if it's on the menu, I usually try. " Your Erroneous Zones " by Wayne W Dyer tops my list of favourite Books. It highlights human shortcomings and tells you how to live a happy life. "
"I love the line 'MAA TUJHE SALAAM'— It's an ode to a mother and a salute to our nation. Mother is the epithet for utmost sincerity and purity of love on this planet. The total provider and a perfect shield that protects the child. So is the country ."
"People were always aware of the situations in society, only now they have more money to contribute to a cause. They have become more liberal with their generosity. I run every day as a part of my routine. “
"I want to provide education to the underprivileged children. I would contribute to it in my own capacity and try and raise funds for the same. Change comes when we think and then act on it. Sometimes, there are limited resources, but with commitment and sincerity, I think we can still make a difference. Just run for it!"
