Puneet Baijal, who had risen through the ranks to become the F & B Director at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Delhi over a year ago, has been given a more challenging assignment within the group to the bigger property and the more prestigious Grand Hyatt label, in Doha.
Kumar who had been sent to the Dubai Park Hyatt, barely a few months ago, was promoted and brought back ‘after careful deliberations and interviewing several people,’ says Baijal who handed him the charge a couple of days ago before boarding the flight to Doha yesterday, giving seamless continuity to the F & B- supposedly the most important revenue generating activity at the prime Delhi property. |
