i-Talk
Academic year 2018-19
The hospitality industry is ever evolving and dynamic, making industry exposure of the essence. The Department of Hotel Management aims to do exactly this, through its initiative, i-Talk, where professionals from across the industry are invited to give students a glimpse of their daily life along with insights on the current trends in the industry. These sessions encourage students to build a network which will swing in their favor, when they step into the industry. Students learn from the experiences of professionals and gain a different perspective. This gets their creative wheels spinning, as they develop their own ideas to implement in the industry. They also gain an abundance of knowledge from these sessions.
