Food is one thing that brings everyone together,
it instills a kind of memory in you that makes
you feel happy.
I want to spread happiness in this world,
I want to understand why cultures eat the
food that they do.
I always had an interest in food as a kid,
because I always looked up to my father who
was also a Chef by profession.
Hospitality is something that runs in the
Indian culture like no other place in the
world.
I did look at doing Hotel Management course
internationally by going to foreign universities,
but being in India and learning hospitality
is something that cannot be compared to anywhere
else around the world.
WGSHA stands for Welcomgroup Graduate School
of Hotel Administration.
This is the first college to have an Industry-Academia
collaboration with ITC Hotels.
Our main aim is to create global hospitality
and culinary leaders in the world.
All our programs’ course structure are designed
in such a way that students will get real-time
experience, which make students confident
in what they are doing.
In the course of culinary arts, we learn not
only by studying through text books, but also
by hands on activities.
We have about a sixty percent practical class
compared to a forty percent theory class.
In the hospitality industry there are four
core departments, its Front office, F&B service,
Food production and Housekeeping.
WGSHA offers us all these various subjects
that help us enhance our skill and grow to
become successful hoteliers and entrepreneurs.
Six-month internship period is a great period
over where you could learn a lot of things
from a number of Chefs that you will work
with, it is a good opportunity to learn and
build your social network, and also see where
you are in the industry and see where you
can improve.
I am a musician but I am studying how to cook,
that does not mean that my avenues as a musician
stop right here.
I am also allowed to perform in and around
the campus which is supported not only by
students but also faculty.
WGSHA’s newest initiative is the Entrepreneurship
Development Cell.
This cell gives students an opportunity to
come together brainstorm an idea and come
up with the product and take it to the market.
All the proceeds earned are put back into
the cell to encourage further budding entrepreneurs
of the institute.
For our campus placement program, we not only
get recruiters from the country but also from
abroad.
During these interviews, we are not only interviewed
for entry level jobs but also for management
trainee positions.
After graduating from WGSHA, I want to travel
the world.
Over the years whatever I experience traveling
the world I want to bring all the cultures,
the recipes and food back here to India.
I have been given an offer letter from ITC
as a management trainee, where I will learn
to take up management in a kitchen.
And I am an avid chocolatier, I want to understand
cultures and bring it together with chocolate,
so that I can come up with my own collection
in the years to come.
After my four years at WGSHA I intend to get
recruited by an Indian management training
company, after which I would like to go internationally
get inspired, learn and join my parents in
their outdoor catering company and shake-up
the hospitality industry.
