In Episode 02 of Beyond The Lobby, Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director and COO of Radisson Hotel Group - South Asia, shares his extraordinary journey from starting at the very bottom to leading one of the world's most recognised hospitality brands. What makes his story remarkable is not just the position he holds today, but the bold choices and leaps of faith that shaped his path.
From joining Lemon Tree in its infancy, where the startup environment gave him rare, multidisciplinary exposure at a young age, to leading the turnaround of Ginger, scaling Wyndham to 75 hotels, and now driving Radisson's expansion across 20+ cities, Nikhil's journey is a masterclass in passion, hard work, and resilience.
In just two decades, he has achieved a level of success that few professionals in the hospitality industry, or any other industry, ever reach.
Key Quote: "There's no secret recipe or secret sauce to it. At the end of the day, two words, passion and hard work, and the resilience to carry on are extremely important."
