In conversation with Suprabhat Roychowdhury, presently working as Director F&B at Holiday inn, Mayur Vihar

Very humble, energetic and ever smiling Suprabhat Roychowdhury is presently working as Director F&B at Holiday Inn, Mayur Vihar for over a year.

His journey to this Hospitality Industry started way back in Year 2000. Got into this Industry just like that as he never wanted to go to the regular profession as Engineer or Doctor despite being very good in acedemics and wanted to do something different. According to him, his sister casually suggested to join Hotel Management Course and he felt that this sounds interesting, where as he didn't know anything about the course or the industry as hailing from Lucknow, there was hardly a good hotel at that time in the city.

Finally he did Hotel Management Course from Dadar Catering Mumbai. During Industrial Training, developed facination for F&B Department.
Joined Taj Mansingh Mumbai as Management Trainee in year 2000 and then moved to Taj Palace Mumbai, Taj Bangalore,......so after four and a half years left Taj Group as Sous Chef and moved to Dubai.

Joined Royal Mirage, Dubai to get more experience, worked as Chef D Cuisine. Indian Cuisine is his preferred cuisine, here the Indian Cuisine is presented as Indian Cuisine with modern interpretation and no fusion.

After four years in Dubai, got back to India and joined Ista Hotels, now known as Hyatt as Exec Chef.

Joined Hilton, now Eros, Nehru Place and worked for five years as Exec Chef.
Instead of taking up as Corporate Chef, he chose to join as Director F&B as was more interested in Hotel Operations, as here he feels there is lot more to do, as something or the other keeps happening every now and then.

For more than a year now, enjoying every minute of working at Holiday Inn.
