Hospitality in India carries personalised thoughtfulness way beyond par, as exemplified at Taj Santacruz in Bombay.

ABC, the beginning of the alphabet. And in this case, the Annual Business Conference, 16 -18 June at Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, for well over 500 corporate and on-property leaders of IHCL.

Dubai-based Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi spurned support from movie legend father Suresh Oberoi to start with nothing. At 16 he was DJing, which led to radio, which led to television, which led to movies.

There were no seated meals at Taj’s hugely successful ABC Annual Business Conference. Breakfasts were wherever, whenever. Lunches were buffets, stand at waist-height tables or sit in the courtyard.
