THE OBEROI GROUP
The Oberoi Group is a hotel group with its head office in Delhi.
Founded in 1934, the company owns and operates 32 luxury
hotels and Nile Cruisers in seven countries under the luxury ‘Oberoi’
and five star ‘Trident’ brand.
The foundations of the Oberoi Group date back to 1934 when Rai
Bahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi, the founder of the group, bought two
properties: the Maidens in Delhi and the Clarke's in Shimla. In the
following years Oberoi, assisted by his two sons, Tilak Raj
Singh Oberoi and Prithvi Raj Singh Oberoi (P.R.S. Oberoi),
continued the expansion of their group with properties both in India
and abroad.
The two major holding companies of The Oberoi Group are EIH Ltd
and EIH Associated Hotels (formerly East India Hotels). P.R.S. Oberoi
is the current chairman of The Oberoi Group. His son, Vikram
Singh Oberoi, and Suresh Oberoi serve in the capacities of the Joint
Managing Directors at the holding companies.

The company currently manages 32 hotels under the luxury brand


Oberoi Hotels & Resorts, with a further 10 five-star properties under
the Trident Hotels brand. The group also operates the Clarke's in
Shimla and the Maidens Hotel, Delhi. These two properties however
are not held under the Trident or under the Oberoi brand.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
This is a short biography of Mr. Oberoi.

Rai Bahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi was born on 15th August, 1898 in
erstwhile undivided Punjab, which is now in Pakistan. He was only six
months old when his father died. Success and fortune did not,
therefore, come easily to him. Initiative, resourcefulness and hard
work, combined with the capability to face and overcome the most
overwhelming odds can best characterize this phenomenal
entrepreneur.

Mohan Singh completed his primary education in Rawalpindi and


moved to Lahore for his Bachelor’s degree. Shortly thereafter, to flee
the ravages of a virulent plague, he went to seek his fortune in
Shimla, the summer capital of British India. Arriving penniless, he
found a job at a monthly salary of Rs. 50, as the front desk clerk at
the Cecil Hotel. Today, The Oberoi Group owns the hotel The Oberoi
Cecil where the young Mohan Singh found his métier.
The diligence, enthusiasm and intelligence displayed by Mohan Singh
impressed Mr. Grove, the manager of the hotel. A quick learner,
Mohan Singh did not restrict his efforts to fulfilling the job description
of a desk clerk but sought and shouldered additional responsibilities.
A few years later, when a Mr. Clarke acquired a small hotel he asked
Mr. Oberoi to assist him. It was here, at Clarkes Hotel, that Mohan
Singh gained first hand experience in all aspects of operating a hotel.

Budding Entrepreneur
In 1934, Mr. Oberoi acquired his first property, The Clarkes Hotel, from
his mentor by mortgaging his wife’s jewellery and all his assets. Four
years later, he signed a lease to take over operations of the five
hundred rooms Grand Hotel in Calcutta that was on sale following a
cholera epidemic. With his customary confidence and sheer
determination to succeed, he was able to convert this hotel into a
highly profitable business venture.

Over several years, Mr. Oberoi had purchased shares in Associated


Hotels of India (AHI), which owned Cecil and Corstophans hotels in
Shimla, Maidens and Imperial hotels in Delhi and a hotel each in
Lahore, Murree, Rawalpindi and Peshawar. In 1943, Mr. Oberoi
acquired controlling interest in AHI. He thus became the first Indian to
run the country’s largest and finest hotel chain. In the tumultuous
years just prior to Indian independence, Mr. Oberoi met and
intimately interacted with the would-be leaders of Free India.

International Pioneer
Having consolidated his early ventures, Mr. Oberoi became the first
Indian hotelier to enter into an agreement with an internationally
renowned hotel chain, to open the first modern, five-star hotel in the
country. The Oberoi Inter Continental, in New Delhi opened in 1965.
The I-Con, as it became popularly known, offered facilities that no other
hotel in the country matched and was India’s first luxury hotel.
This achievement was enhanced with the opening of the 35-storey
Oberoi Sheraton in Bombay, in 1973. Mr. Oberoi was the first Indian to
work in association with international chains to woo international
travelers to India. This led to a heavy influx of international travelers
and foreign occupancy soared to an average of 85%. This enabled The
Oberoi Hotels to significantly contribute to India’s foreign exchange
earnings.

Another pioneering landmark was the establishment in 1966 of the


prestigious Oberoi School of Hotel Management, recognized by the
International Hotel Association in Paris. Considered India’s premier
institute, the school is now known as The Oberoi Centre of Learning
and Development and continues to provide high quality professional
training in hospitality management.

Other notable firsts were the decision to employ women in his


hotels and to establish a chain of ancillary industries producing and
supplying items like consumables and stationery to ensure the highest
quality. The Oberoi Group was also the first to start flight catering
operations in India, in 1959. The Oberoi Flight Services, located in
New Delhi, Mumbai, Cochin and Chennai, provide in-flight meals of
international quality to reputed airlines.

Mr. Oberoi realized that the hotel and hospitality business is


greatly dependent on travel agents, a vital element in the
distribution chain.

With vision and imagination, Mr. Oberoi converted old and


dilapidated palaces, historical monuments and buildings into
magnificent hotels such as The Oberoi Grand in Calcutta, the historic
Mena House in Cairo and The Windsor in Australia. It was, in fact, in
the face of severe opposition that the State Government of Victoria
awarded Mr. Oberoi the lease of The Windsor, a heritage building in
Melbourne. He personally supervised the restoration of the hotel to its
original grandeur and later acquired it. The Oberoi Cecil in Shimla, built
in the early 20th century, reopened in April 1997 after extensive and
meticulous renovation.

Awards and Honors


In 1943, Mr. Oberoi was conferred the title of Rai Bahadur by the
British Government in recognition of his services to the Crown.
Thereafter, Mr. Oberoi won acclaim and received several national and
international awards including admission to the Hall of Fame by the
American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and Man of The World award
by the International Hotel Association (IHA), New York. He was
presented the Order of The Republic, First Class by the President of
Egypt. He got an Honorary Doctorate of Business Administration from
the International Management Centre, Buckingham, UK. Newsweek
named him one of the Elite Winners of 1978. The PHDCCI Millennium
award in 2000 was presented in recognition of his entrepreneurial and
business success. In 2001, the Government of India accorded him the
Padma Bhushan.

Globalization of The Oberoi Group


To place The Oberoi Group on the world map, Mr. Oberoi exported
management expertise to Australia, Egypt and Singapore, where The
Oberoi Group took charge of the management of existing luxury
hotels. The success of Oberoi Hotels & Resorts overseas, in the face
of global competition, greatly enhanced the image of The Group.

Today, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts in Indonesia, Egypt, Mauritius, Saudi


Arabia and India add value and distinction to their host countries.

Foundations of the Future


Under Mr. Oberoi’s dynamic leadership, The Oberoi Group introduced
its second brand of hotels, ‘Trident’. Trident hotels are five-star hotels
that have established a reputation for excellence and are
acknowledged for offering quality and value. These hotels combine
state of the art facilities with dependable service in a caring
environment, making them the ideal choice for business and leisure
travelers. Presently there are ten Trident hotels in India located in
Bandra Kurla Mumbai, Nariman Point Mumbai, Gurgaon (Delhi National
Capital Region), Chennai, Bhubaneshwar, Cochin, Agra, Hyderabad,
Jaipur and Udaipur. The Oberoi Group also operates a Trident hotel in
the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah.

In the luxury category, The Group opened The Oberoi Rajvilas,


Jaipur; The Oberoi Cecil, Shimla; The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur; The
Oberoi Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore; The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra;
Wildflower Hall, Shimla in the Himalayas; The Oberoi, Lombok,
Indonesia; The Oberoi, Sahl Hasheesh, Egypt, The Oberoi, Mauritius and
The Oberoi Zahra, Luxury Nile Cruiser, Egypt.

The Group employs more than 12,000 people worldwide and owns
or manages 30 hotels and luxury cruisers in five countries.

Mr. Oberoi’s achievements and successes did not, however, take


from his simplicity and old- fashioned charm. He retained, until his
death in May 2002 at the age of 103, a unique humility. He was fond of
saying, “I have been able to accept the challenge and make good. There
is comfort in knowing that whatever little I have achieved has also
helped to raise the prestige of my country.”

HOUSEKEEPING
Housekeeping refers to the management of duties and chores
involved in the running of a household, such as cleaning, cooking,
home maintenance, shopping, laundry and bill payment. These tasks
may be performed by members of the household, or by other persons
hired for the purpose.

The Housekeeping department takes pride in keeping the hotel clean


and comfortable, so as to create a ‘Home away from home’. The aim of
all accommodation establishment is to provide their customers with
clean, attractive, comfortable and welcoming surrounding that offer
value for money. Nothing sends a stronger message than cleanliness in
a hospitality operation. No level of service, friendliness or glamour can
equal the sensation a guest has upon entering a spotless, tidy and
conveniently arranged room. Both management and guest consider
the keeping of the place clean and in a good order a necessity for a
hotel to command a fair price and get repeat business.
Housekeeping may be defined as the provision of a clean,
comfortable and safe environment, It’s is not confined to the
housekeeping department as every member of staff in the
establishment should be concerned with the provision of these
facilities in their own department, e.g.. the chef ‘housekeepers’ in the
kitchen, the restaurant manager or head waiter ‘housekeepers’ in the
restaurant, and the general manager has overall responsibility.

 In any establishment there are three department particularly


concerned with accommodation:
• The reception department, whose staff sell and allocate the
rooms.
• The housekeeping department, whose staff plan, provide and
service the rooms.
• The maintenance department, whose staff provide adequate hot
and cold water, sanitation, heating, lighting and ventilation as
well as maintaining and repairing individual articles and area.

 Importance Of Housekeeping
Housekeeping is an operational department in a hotel, which is
responsible for cleanliness, maintenance, aesthetic upkeep of
rooms, public area, back area and surroundings. A hotel survives
on the sale of room, food, beverages and other minor services
such as the laundry, health club spa and so on. The sale of rooms
constituter a minimum of 50 per cent of these sales. Thus, the
major part of the hotel’s margin of profit comes from the room
sales, because a room once made can be sold over and over
again. The effort that a housekeeping department makes in
giving a guest a desirable room has a direct bearing on the
guest’s experience in a hotel. Guestrooms are the heart of the
hotel.

The housekeeping department not only prepares clean


guestroom on a timely basis for arriving guest, but also cleans
and maintains everything in the hotel so that the property is as
fresh and attractive as the day it opened for business.
Housekeeping, thus, is an ancillary department that contributes
in a big way towards the overall reputation of a property.

It is rightly said that housekeeping is a 24 x 7 x 365 operation.


Imagine the stacks of linen needed to make up all the beds in a
hotel, the miles if carpeting, floor, walls and ceiling to be cleaned
and maintained, and cleaning compounds along with special
tools and equipment needed in order to clean.

 Role of housekeeping department

Housekeeping plays a very important role in hospitality industry


such as:-
• To achieve the maximum possible efficiency in ensuring the care
and comfort of guests and in the smooth running of the
department.
• To establish a welcoming atmosphere and ensure courteous,
reliable service from all staff of the department.
• To ensure a high standards of cleanliness and general upkeep in
all areas for which the department is responsible.
