BANTA DHABA opened up to largely cater to the discerning tourists ,
business travellers , transit crowd as well as locals . We identified
the need to bring the best flavours and practices of Indian Food ( both
North and South ) in this region which has an impressive potential . We

I
got placement through campus and joined ITDC after graduating in 1988
as KT. Worked in Ashok and Samrat hotels in Delhi for 1 year. Was
transferred to Kovalam as KET and in less than 6 months there got bored
of the kitchens.... being a foodie I knew I was in the wrong side of the
table. Quit hotels and studied Travel & Tourism. Set up a Trave
Agency and ran it successfully for 5 years, expanded by adding Canadian
Immigration program by tying up with a Canadian lawyer, sold that
business. Then spent next 5 years trying to build a KPO targeting the
Govt segment with patented solutions... Failed in that venture and lost
nearly everything... decided to work in an organisation. Joined Siemens
Shared Services in Bangalore and helped set up a Travel Vertical. Now
head the captive KPO of the world’s 3rd largest Travel Management
Company for 12 years.... contemplating of venturing into the
entrepreneurial journey again

I
passed out in April 1998, and left hotels by November 1998.. Started
Event management locally in Lucknow (my home city).. created a small
name in the event circle there and when UTV wanted some help to organise
stadium concerts in UP they approached me..
To
cut a long story short, got hired by UTV for their events division,
went to ambience Publicis to head their event operation team and started
my own in 2004..
My
entrepreneur journey started in 2004, the seeds were sown starting that
year. In event industry you are as good as your last project and in
Ambience we were doing a campaign where i had given a cost of 1.2CR for
the project, i had to leave for my hometown for a family gathering..
Once i was back it dawned on me that the event without any change in
deliverable has been agreed for 70L by the marketing team and my CEO..
Ofcourse that was a disaster.. So i opened a production company called
Clockwork (Precision in events) and promised all my clients that if we
commit to a project then that will be done and at a cost which we agree
to and the cost will not change unless the creative brief changes... It
was a great journey for the last 16 years with a client retention of
close to 90%... Most known events done by us are auditions of all major
reality show like indian idol, india's got talent, KBC, Masterchef,
Super singer, Laughter challenge and many many more.. We did all the
stadium concerts for the EDM Brand Supersonic with artiste like Steve
Aoki, Skrillex, Major Lazer, Above and Beyond, Chainsmokers, Pretty
Light etc. Comedy tour of Russel Brand and Indian Acts. International
bands like Alt J, Slash and others. We handled award ceremony like Star
parivaar awards, Filmfare awards, Screen awards, Zee Cine awards,
Sporting events like Pro kabbadi (Gujrat Team), Premier Futsal,
Lusofonia Games etc.. International production management for A.R Rahman
for North America Tour, Illiyaraja and Salman Khan Tour of Dubai.. and
countless events and auditions... Most Importantly and I tell this to
everyone the reason I as able to do this was the clarity and logically
how to approach a situation was taught first to me by Mr. Anutosh
Bhakta... what to do when a guests checks in or checks out is based on
logic, and meanwhile my batchmates mugged up the process i understood
the logic of ot and how it helps the hotel as well as the guests.. So I
had a good teacher...
