When Leadership Meets Soulful Hospitality - What an energising and inspiring evening at Rotary Club of Guindy!
We were honoured to host Vikram Cotah, CEO of GRT Hotels and Resorts and Independent Director at Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation.
In a candid and thought-provoking conversation, Vikram spoke about:
✨ Soulful hospitality — where service goes beyond systems and touches hearts
🏛 Culture as a powerful competitive advantage
🌾 Celebrating regional identity instead of chasing a multinational image
🤝 Empowering frontline teams to create magical customer moments
🎯 Leadership rooted in purpose, trust, and authenticity
The session was beautifully steered by our Membership Chair Rtn Madhan, who made the conversation both engaging and insightful.
A big thank you to our President Rtn Radha Krish for bringing Vikram and his spouse Sowmya (Rotarian, RCG Madras East) to our club.
Kudos to our members for the sharp and stimulating questions that elevated the discussion 👏
RCG was pleased to honour our own Rtn. Srikanth Anandal with Rock Star Award for Dec '25, recognising his exceptional support to GG and various other projects.
President and other senior members promoted Indra Vizha District Conference and requested for more members to register.
And heartfelt appreciation to Club Service Director Rtn Jemima for the warm hospitality and wonderful dinner 🍽✨
An evening rich with ideas, inspiration, and Rotary camaraderie — truly hospitality meeting humanity!
