The Indian hospitality industry has been witnessing a major boom. Especially with ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ inspiring a great sense of being welcomed in the country, the travel and hospitality industry has evolved into a key driver of growth amongst the service sector of the country. As per reports by Statista, the Indian hotel market is projected to grow to around 13 billion U.S. dollars by 2020. With Indian hospitality & tourism going on 9 percent and the Indian food industry expected to reach a mark of six trillion rupees, the unorganized business is trying to become an organized sector. This has led to a rise in the demand of Consulting and Advisory companies that can help businesses meet their objectives. Dominating the hospitality consulting and advisory market with a strong foothold is HCS Global Corp, a firm renowned for offering better business policies clear process understanding and updated knowledge to the stakeholders.Today hospitality business owners are well traveled with good knowledge, and their demands and expectations are far clearer than the business owners of previous decades. In order to cater to these demands, you need to be at the edge in all senses to address the ever increasing millennials and their new age expectations. Set up in 2005 as HCSI and rebranded as HCS Global Corp in 2019, the firm is recognized for its holistic Hospitality Consulting Services towards Hotel Restaurants and Food Services. “In 2004, when the industry dynamics were changing we envisioned to be part of the industry change and contribute to the industry with Hitech and sustainable business models and offerings. We could see the potential in the market but with a gap that was identified as less novelty, fewer innovations and less of a sustainable approach in design concepts, food presentations, marketing ideas, hospitality strategies or overall execution. So, with a new vision and approach, HCSI introduced a series of services that aimed at addressing the much talked about GAP. And, when we thought of offering our services to a larger chunk of the market, we rebranded ourselves as HCS Global Corp and now we are connecting the global business owners to showcase our products and services. We have always won the trust of our clients so much that we are maintaining and developing relations with repeat business from them even till date”, speaks Upendra Dattatraya Kulkarni, Co-Founder & Director, HCS Global Corp.

Breaking Down Barriers with Innovation and Experience
There has been a constant gap in demand and supply when it comes to new ideas, products and designs. During the initial days the market was quite rigid with orthodox service styles compared to the overseas companies in Europe and American markets. From getting owners to change their casual and friendly service approach, to finding skilled and trained labour, the initial days were full of challenges for HCS Global Corp. With hotel and restaurant business being considered as real estate business, finding funds was not an easy approach path for the new entrants in the business. Technology support was also limited which required a lot of tasks to be accomplished manually which was time consuming and whatever was available was not affordable for the MSME market where our focus always has been.
“While we faced numerous challenges during the early years of inception we left no stone unturned to overcome the stumbling blocks. We always encourage our team to be innovative whether it is new technology or process or service style or products. We make them come up with knowledge sessions to brainstorm within the team because we always believe that our business particularly is all about people and we are not just a hospitality consulting company but our purpose of being here is to offer our clients a completely curated experience and we take pride in saying that we always try to evolve in order to improve ourselves in the new environment and constant development into the hospitality business,” says Upendra.
