LuLu Group India is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Rahul Raj as Head of Hospitality, a pivotal move that underscores the Group’s commitment to redefining luxury and lifestyle hospitality experiences across the country.

Rahul’s association with LuLu Group is well-established. As the General Manager of Hyatt Regency Trivandrum, the flagship hotel under LuLu’s ownership, he played an instrumental role in launching and positioning the property as a regional leader in guest service, operational efficiency, and team engagement. His leadership elevated the hotel into one of South India’s most respected luxury destinations.

In his new capacity, Rahul will lead LuLu Group’s hospitality operations across India. He will be responsible for shaping strategic direction, driving operational excellence, and spearheading brand development across the Group’s growing portfolio.

“I’m deeply honoured to take on this expanded role with LuLu Group India,” said Rahul Raj. “Having been a part of the Group through Hyatt Regency Trivandrum, I’ve seen its dedication to quality and innovation firsthand. I’m excited to build on that foundation and help craft a hospitality vision that is both guest-centric and growth-oriented.”

With a track record of thoughtful leadership, a passion for excellence, and a forward-thinking approach, Rahul Raj is well-positioned to usher LuLu Group’s hospitality ventures into a new era of dynamic expansion and elevated guest experiences.
