The premiere global professional since 1952 Hospitality Financial & Technology Professionals (HFTP) recently opened an Indian chapter to serve its members. Hotelogix graced its presence in the inaugural session of the Indian connect of HTP that was held in Mumbai on 12th September. Hotelogix, the cloud-based web solution has been closely associated with HFTP for long.

The new chapter of the launch meet in Mumbai was ushered keeping in mind to unite the like-minded technology and financial professionals, so that they get an esteemed forum to discuss, share and exchange innovative ideas. HFTP has a rich history in providing industry education, certifications, scholarships, reference texts, and other resources for the hospitality industry.

Aditya Sanghi, CEO, Hotelogix says, “From technology standpoint, HFTP is an immense resource of information and network of professionals that has helped hospitality industry for several years now. The India chapter will give Indian Hospitality industry the much needed exposure and access to the network with professionals in the developed markets. Being regulars at HITEC trade shows in USA since 2010, Hotelogix has seen the vibrant and knowledgeable community, which now Indian Hospitality Industry will have access to.”

Indian hospitality market gained momentum rapidly in the last couple of years. Now, hospitality growth do not restrict only in the four metros but in tertiary cities around as well. Ten decades back, marketing meant establishing a brand but now the scenario is totally different, an emerging budget and mid-sized hotels has taken a major leap.

“Indian SME in hospitality industry has been growing and we are seeing the influx of international brands wanting to make headway into India like the Choice, Best Westerns, Wyndham, ABVI and many more. On the other hand Indian SME hospitality industry faces a major bottleneck in being able to attract bookings on OTAs for independent Small and mid-sized hotels. The online review services to take care of trust deficit and Seamless Live Channel management to take care of technological support would help to address this problem,” adds Aditya. 

Keeping all these pivotal factors Hotelogix, the cloud based PMS came up with a design that would be easily accessible to all the budgeted and mid-sized hotels at a reasonably cost-effective price. Hotelogix always took pride in attending in almost all the events organized by HFTP, the latest one being at HITEC, Baltimore this year. The recent Indian chapter opened by HFTP shows the accelerating hospitality market in here and the potential rise over the years to come
