Chalet Hotels Launches ‘Lakshya – Aim. Lead. Achieve.’

Chalet Hotels Limited has unveiled ‘Lakshya – Aim. Lead. Achieve.’, a 15-month Management Trainee Programme aimed at building a robust leadership pipeline for the fast-evolving hospitality industry. The initiative is crafted to attract and nurture high-potential talent through an intensive, multi-stage development journey that blends cross-functional learning, leadership exposure, and operational training across Chalet’s premium hotels and corporate offices.

Four-Stage Development Journey

The programme is structured into four progressive phases—Uday (Fresh Start), Anubhav (Experience), Pankh (Advanced Learning), and Shikhar (Live It). Each stage offers increasingly challenging roles to strengthen both strategic thinking and practical expertise. Participants will gain exposure through departmental rotations, executive shadowing, live project work, and corporate immersion, ensuring a well-rounded training experience focused on leadership readiness and business acumen.

Cross-Functional Learning and Specialisations

Trainees can specialise in two areas- one as a major and the other as a minor- helping to develop a versatile, cross-functional workforce. Each phase is hosted at a different Chalet property or brand, offering diverse operational perspectives. Notably, this is the first programme to provide cross-hotel and cross-brand exposure, broadening participants’ understanding of varied hospitality environments.

Leadership Perspectives

Gaurav Singh, Chief Operating Officer, Chalet Hotels Limited, remarked, “With Lakshya, we are not just building a training program — we are investing in the next generation of hospitality leaders. This initiative reflects Chalet Hotels’ commitment to talent development and aims to equip future leaders with the strategic and operational skills needed to thrive in a dynamic industry.”

Mugdha Mahambrey, General Manager – Human Resources, added, “At Chalet, we are deeply committed to investing in our people by providing structured pathways for growth through learning and leadership development. Lakshya reflects this commitment—born from our belief that nurturing talent is central to building an organisation that is future-ready, resilient, and grounded in strong values. An organisation that supports the flourishing of its people while working toward a shared purpose.”

With its distinctive combination of hands-on exposure, leadership training, and strategic insight, Lakshya raises the bar for hospitality training in the industry. It embodies Chalet Hotels’ vision of cultivating adaptable, forward-thinking professionals equipped to lead in an ever-evolving, service-driven landscape.
