This information was revealed by PK Mohankumar, Managing Director & CEO, Roots Corporation Ltd.

Elaborating on the expansion plan, Mohankumar said, “The properties that are operational in India are either greenfield, brownfield or lease projects. These hotels are across all the four zones, Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western India. To further grow the brand in the Indian market, we are looking at franchise business agreements. Furthermore, we want to tap family-run businesses; participating in equity to revitalise and upgrade these hotels to Ginger brand standards, thereby operate on lease or revenue-sharing model. With the objective of catering to business travellers in the budget segment, Ginger Hotels has completed ten years of operations and retains 50-60 per cent of market share.”

In order to offer value-for-money experience to its guests, Ginger Hotels had conducted ‘Mission 365 Operational Experience’ where every minute detail of various departments including housekeeping, security, engineering was addressed. Mohankumar added, “The guest satisfaction index was increased after the programme was conducted at each hotel. We aim to offer affordable, clean and hygiene, safe and secure and easy access to reservation to our guests.”
