The hospitality industry got a shot in the arm when investments in the sector were booming between 2005 and 2010. With large private equity and bank funding, hotel and tourism infrastructure, the sector came to be defined as a separate entity from real estate. However, the sector has advanced rather unpredictably since then. Factors such as oversupply of hotel rooms, competition from shared economy models, and a blind spot in events based tourism, and experiential hospitality to appeal to a new generation has changed the landscape of the Indian hospitality sector today “Demiurgic Hospitality” is a company that was launched in early 2017 with a vision to create a National Brand.
“When I started this company, there was no prior entrepreneurial experience but had a vision and technical knowledge of the culinary field. I always wanted this brand to soar heights and to have the market presence across cuisines & boundaries by creating a consortium of brands. I wanted this brand to be a market leader in quality, quantity & hygiene. Following my dreams and my passion, I started on this journey in January’2017 and took over a running brand called “World in a Box”. The operations of the brand started in Aug’2017 and gave the company a good start. Very soon our first internal brand started its operations under the banner of “Deseez-The Food Designers”. Deseez is our Indian cuisine brand which primarily focuses on Kababs, Biryani’s & Indian Curries. The brand was accepted well and is well known in the market,” says Gautam Chaudhry, MD, Demiurgic Hospitality.
