Mr. PRS Oberoi’s name stands as a beacon of excellence in hospitality. His unwavering commitment to elevating standards and delivering impeccable service has left an indelible mark on the industry. As we pay tribute to this hospitality luminary, let us also reflect on the profound lessons he imparted – that true hospitality is not merely a business transaction but an art form, a calling that demands passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the guest’s well-being.

A visionary with an unwavering spirit, Mr. Oberoi was a pioneer, far ahead of his time, who transformed the Oberoi brand into a global synonym for luxury and excellence. In an India of decades past, he boldly envisioned creating world-class hotels that would rival the finest in the world. His unwavering resolve and unwavering pursuit of excellence bore fruit, propelling The Oberoi Hotels & Resorts to the pinnacle of hospitality.

In recognition of his unparalleled contributions, Mr. Oberoi was bestowed with the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award, in January 2008. A testament to his legacy is the Oberoi Maidens, the group’s first hotel, which stands not just as a physical structure but as a cherished memory for many, including our college days.

Jyoti Mayal, Chairperson, THSC quoted “Legends never truly die, they live on forever in the hearts and minds of those who remember and honor them.”
