Motivated by this void, he documented his experiences and insights to create a book that acts as both an industry reality check and a call to action. The book examines several pressing issues, including:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.67px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">The slow salary growth and widening wealth gap within the industry.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.67px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">The outdated curricula and insufficient infrastructure in hotel management colleges.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.67px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">The struggles faced by IHM college graduates in meeting industry demands.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.67px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">The migration of unskilled labor from smaller towns to urban centers, only to be overworked and underpaid.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"line-height:1.08;margin-bottom:10.67px;margin-top:0px\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:14.67px\"><span lang=\"en-in\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en-in\">With India\u2019s growing disposable income and an evolving food culture, the hospitality sector is expanding rapidly.
