A Pathway to Success
Arun always wanted to work in the hospitality industry. It was his life’s
ambition and passion. When Arun joined the SRM Institute of Hotel
Management, little did he believe it would be one of the most rewarding
and defining three years of his life. He made many friends and business
contacts. Arun reminisces about his time at SRM, “The faculty freely
shared their rich experience of the industry, carefully nurturing us for a
challenging career.”

For Arun, the learning went beyond the classroom. He learnt the finer
nuances of how to develop a positive disposition and personality, key
prerequisites for an exciting role in the industry. “It was not all about
academics; we were systematically groomed for the profession and also

taught the importance of giving back to the community.” Arun recalls the

encouragement he received to start a Rotaract chapter in the University, a

community development project.
During his studies, Arun realized the key ingredient of success in the
hospitality industry was how one treated people, whether they are guests
or team members, as that would determine ones success in the industry. “I
got the foundation to build my career at SRM. I owe my professional
success to the academic rigor and training I received in my alma mater.”
