In his new role as General Manager, Vishal will oversee overall hotel operations, commercial strategy and guest engagement initiatives at The LaLiT New Delhi. His appointment comes at a time when the hospitality industry continues to evolve, with greater emphasis on personalised guest experiences, strategic partnerships and sustainable growth.

Vishal Sharma said on the new appointment, “It is truly an honour to take on this responsibility at The LaLiT New Delhi, a brand widely recognised for its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusive hospitality.
