Bio
Lloyd Lauland
As Executive Director of JHM Interstate, the first US based third party hotel/resort management company to operate in India, we set very high expectations for our teams working in our hotels and resorts; especially for the General Managers that were charged with leading our teams. Karan Bakshi not only met, but exceeded our high expectations of Integrity, Leadership, Business Acumen, and Professionalism. Karan's ability to embrace our hotel management systems for budgeting, forecasting and accounting and put them into action helped the Thomas Hotels and Resorts that we managed reach new heights of revenue growth and profitability. Should my career ever return me to India, one of the first people I would call to join my team would be Karan Bakshi. He is a proven hospitality leader and I would not hesitate placing any hotel or resort in his care.

Karan is the rockstar gm for whichever hotel he works with across religions or cultures he garnered the respect of his tribe and that allows him to always have a winning team that delights his clients and guests. I’ve always wanted to learn this art from him. A man who delivers time and time again proud to call him a friend Karan is a rare breed in today’s times.
