The programme commenced with a formal welcome ceremony for the Oberoi Group representative and attended by faculty members, student coordinators and final-year students.
On the occasion, Dr. Ankit Chadha, Director, Amity School of Hospitality, welcomed the representatives of The Oberoi Group and emphasised the importance of providing students with practical, industry-oriented exposure in the hospitality sector. He highlighted that familiarising students with evolving industry requirements and workplace expectations, alongside academic learning, plays an important role in their overall professional development.
