Kapoor joins the Oberoi Hotels Group at a time when the hospitality industry is struggling under the weight of various state-mandated lockdowns brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic which have crippled the travel and tourism market.
In a late evening post on LinkedIn, Kapoor said, “Am delighted to share that I will be joining the Oberoi Hotels & Resorts Group as President effective June 1, 2021. Oberoi is a storied brand and wonderful institution, a true home-grown and world-class Indian success story. I am honoured and privileged to be joining them and look forward to working with the Oberoi family from whom I will have a lot to learn.”
Kapoor will refill the President’s post which had been vacant since 2017 post the exit of Kapil Chopra, who later became the founder and CEO of the Gurugram-based Postcard Hotels and Resorts.
