Davinder Juj: ‘Together, we will come out of this crisis stronger and better’

A man hailing from a small town in Punjab, for whom his father was the first role model, who chose hospitality as he wanted to make his career in an ‘unconventional’ field - Davinder Juj, General Manager, Eros Hotel New Delhi Nehru Place, who has been associated with the property since October 2002, has indeed come a long way. Geared to handle any challenge life decides to throw his way, the visionary has introduced a plethora of initiatives to make his hotel safe and COVID free.

Here’s more on his journey and initiatives in an exclusive with BOTT India.

Priyanka Saxena Ray

Davinder Juj, after completing his IHM, started working at the Hyatt Regency New Delhi as a steward in F&B Service. “Even today when I look back, it gives me a great feeling that I had the opportunity to join such a great establishment with huge volume of business that apparently taught me all the basic tricks and groomed me for the future course of life. The learnings at that level and the motivation to grow and reach new heights is what I learned from my first job,” he reminisces.

A firm believer of the fact that the key to success in any field is hard work and dedication and that it comes from the passion and willingness to learn, followed by skill development at all levels and habit of responding to change as per new circumstances, Davinder feels that the hospitality industry works on pillars of relationship building and thinking on your feet to handle situations. “In 25 years of my carrier, I have worked with only two hotel groups – Asian Hotels and Eros Group of Hotels. Although over this period, I have had the experience to learn from many brands such as Hyatt Regency, Hilton Hotels, InterContinental Hotels and Eros Group of Hotels,” he adds.

Sharing his thoughts on the challenges he faced in the professional journey, he says, “It’s not about the challenges that we face rather it is our response to those challenges that makes a difference. I have had similar challenges like many others in the hospitality industry. There are certain low impact challenges that distinguish our job from others like meeting revenues and GOP numbers, long working hours, insufficient family time, pressure to exceed guest expectations, waiting for the right opportunity to move ahead in professional journey etc. Additionally, there are other significant challenges that turn out to be the life changing moments and dealing those challenges always defines a person. Gulf War, 9/11 US Attack, Mumbai Attack and now the ongoing pandemic because of which the businesses have suffered a big hit and the prospect of the entire industry got affected. To safeguard your colleagues, your business, ensuring to keep the trust and confidence of your customers becomes very important during these periods. The restart post any such events is always of great significance and ensuring a steady growth out of these challenges and bouncing back strongly has always been the focus and key to sustain.”

The GM states that at the Eros Hotel, safety and hygiene of guests and team members have always been of paramount importance. In the new normal, awareness and preparedness of team members will play a significant role to keep everyone safe at the premises. To ensure that everyone visiting the hotel feels the warmth and comfort while having the sense of safety, the hotel has implemented a stringent yet comprehensive outline of measures which will be thoroughly followed once the hotels re-open. Over the past few months, the team at Eros Hotel New Delhi Nehru Place has been continuously engaging with all its guests and keeping them informed about the protocols, which the hotel has adopted to keep them safe at the premises after re-opening.

“I would like to say something before concluding – one is my message to all the hoteliers that due to the ongoing pandemic, we are all going through tough times yet I believe that this phase too shall pass soon. We are in this together and will come out of it stronger and better. The learning from this phase will guide us towards a brighter future. Secondly, we at Eros Hotel have always believed in the ideology of giving back to the society. During this pandemic also, we came forward and joined our hands with NGO’s to feed the needy ones with packed food boxes prepared by our chefs with all their love and warmth. We will continue our support in future,” concludes the dynamic GM.
