As he prepares to expand Atmosphere’ operations across Asia, the company’s founder, Salil Panigrahi, is clear about one thing – building long-term relationships.
He maintained that consistent engagement with a personal touch is one of the brand’s strengths and the reason behind its deep market penetration and loyalty from its trade partners and employees. Calling it the secret behind its continued growth in Maldives, he now wants to emulate this approach in South Asia.
The first step in this direction was appointing Souvagya Mohapatra as MD for India, Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Mohapatra has already hit the ground running. He is working closely with Atmosphere Hotels and Resorts’ business development team to identify properties in potential destinations like Goa, Kerala, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Guwahati, Bangalore, Ahmedabad etc. And he hopes to debut the company’s Ozen brand here soon.
