Nishal brings over 18 years of experience across luxury hotels and destination resorts in India, Mauritius and Morocco. His background spans operations, strategy and guest experience management.

An alumnus of the Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development, he began his career in finance at The Oberoi Beach Resort, Mauritius. During this time, he transitioned into hotel operations, developing an interest in managing guest experiences and hotel performance.

Over the years, he has held leadership roles across food and beverage and operations. His previous assignments include serving as Executive Assistant Manager at The Oberoi Marrakech and, most recently, as Hotel Manager at The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore.

In these roles, he has been involved in strengthening operational processes, supporting business performance and contributing to brand positioning across competitive hospitality markets.
