As a young lad, Keshav Suri, now 33, did not see the virtue in capping his formal education with degrees in law and management from British universities. At 17, after finishing high school, he had decided to deliberately veer away from seeking a degree in hospitality — an expected turn for the scion of The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group — as he wished to break out of a myopic vision of running the industry.
Headquartered in New Delhi, the company opened its first hotel here in 1988 under the dynamic leadership of Founder Chairman Mr. Lalit Suri, who spearheaded the Group’s unprecedented expansion plans.
Rapid expansion and consolidation of its leadership position continues under the enterprising stewardship of Dr. Jyotsna Suri, who took over as Chairperson & Managing Director in 2006.
All hotels within the group operated under the brand The Grand – Hotels, Palaces & Resorts. It was re-branded as ‘The LaLiT’ on November 19, 2008 as a tribute to the company’s Founder Chairman Mr. Lalit Suri.
The company offers twelve luxury Hotels, Places & Resorts and two mid market segment hotels under The LaLiT Traveller brand offering 2261 rooms.
