Vedatya’s interdisciplinary and applied approach to education makes us as the best private college in Gurgaon & Delhi NCR.
With respect to the interdisciplinary approach, while the courses listed below are based on their primary focus, each one of them has components related to business, sustainability and services design.

“Joining the Hospitality Management program at Vedatya was one of the best decisions of my life. The overall experience was incredible. The classes were dynamic and brought about important reflection on academic theories and combined them with practices faced in the real hospitality world. The high quality of the group discussions and international exposure gained during the internship program significantly contributed to my professional and personal life.”

“Vedatya has lots to offer to its students in terms of industry interaction, studies, events, participation in internal and external competition, conferences, workshops etc. All this and more forms part of a student development program which is holistic in nature. I was prepared and positioned to meet corporate expectations through various workshops and training sessions. The one year internship gave me the much needed training I needed to succeed in my career. Thanks to Vedatya and all the faculty members who were all there for me throughout the program.”
Dionne Macker
Hotel Management Graduate | 2013 Account Manager - Hilton Worldwide Sales (Global Sales) National Account Manager, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG)
“I am an Alumni of the 2011 SHTM batch and got placed as a Management Trainee at IHG from Vedatya, an assignment that has been the cornerstone of an immensely satisfying career so far. Back in 2011, post the guidance from some of the faculty, I started an accelerated management career and went onto to lead hotels as one of the youngest General Manager at IHG.
The curriculum, based on applied research, is clearly the USP for me. Add to it, the practical experience in the 1st year, the internship in the 2nd year, and management modules and thoughtful industry interface throughout the curriculum and you have a winner.”

The workshop is designed to enable revenue management professionals and business’s operational leaders to recognize the need to focus on the F & B part of their business. The competitive advantage of cost reduction and revenue optimization that a data driven approach brings towards operational decisions can have a massive impact on profitability.
The key components of the workshop are as follows.
a. Introduce ‘Zoho Analytics’, a Business Analytics Tool
The workshop will deploy live data from Vedatya’s F & B operations generated by a POS called Rista. It, therefore, uses actual data to demonstrate business analytics through a tool called Zoho Analytics to generate reports that answer key questions.
Correct data from the POS system is a key pre-requisite for any system to provide meaningful information. Data that has errors or is incomplete, i.e. ‘dirty data’, is not use worthy and therefore needs to be fixed first.
b. Cost Management Implications through a Three Tier Approach
The training will focus on strengthening cost management efficiencies for an F & B operation from three aspects – Purchase Management Efficiency, Inventory Management Efficiency and Production Management Efficiency. Live data through a range of reports will be discussed to establish the massive opportunity for businesses to save cost by following a data driven approach. The critical role of end users is to ask relevant questions and make valid decisions based on the outcomes. The array of business analytics reports will provide the trainees a perspective on how their specific questions can be answered effectively through appropriate use of data.
This real time ability to conduct a diagnosis of the issues or challenges and then take corrective actions as a dynamic process is a key take away of this workshop.
c. Dynamic F & B Revenue Management
This section of the workshop is focused on reviewing performance data (sales trend, covers, revenue per cover, etc.) to identify opportunities to improve revenue performance. The approach is likely to make ‘menu engineering’ a dynamic activity with routine actions to push the agenda for revenue optimization for higher profitability.
The workshop will introduce a strategic approach wherein data driven tactics and strategies drawn from three categories – (1) all-purpose strategies, (2) strategies to use when a restaurant is busy (hot), and (3) strategies to use when a restaurant is not busy (cold) – can be put in place based on the analysis of the current performance indices. A case study of successful implementation of this approach will be shared as well.
Event Fee
The full day workshop will be delivered in an online mode for a registration fee of Rs. 4,500 (all inclusive).
Vedatya is organizing a workshop on “best practices for high impact online academic delivery” for teachers. The half-day workshop, both in an online and in-person format, is complimentary and comes with a certification.

Structured towards sharing our research and practice of delivering academic content to learners in an online mode with an objective of disseminating best practices.
The participants will also learn about using a peer review process through a structured format aimed at setting and meeting higher standards of academic delivery in an online mode.

Interesting options for assessing student performance through a range of tools will also be discussed.
The new education policy (NEP) recently announced by the Indian government has far reaching implications for the education sector, both at school level as well as for higher education. As the policy fine print unfolds, it is important to not only understand the impact of announced changes but also more importantly evaluate where the education sector is headed.
This discussion will identify key challenges, issues and concerns by bringing them on the table. Also, as the panel probes the ground realities in the current Indian education system context, the implications of the proposed policy and how various stakeholders are likely to be affected would become more visible.
The key areas of discussion are as below.
Key highlights of NEP
Challenges from the school system perspective
What policy elements are being welcomed as progressive and a step forward?
Are there any aspects that government should reconsider?
How will NEP affect students over the next 2-3 years?
Designing of service spaces comes with a responsibility beyond just the aesthetics. Functional aspects – customer orientation, back of the house design, and service delivery – are just as important. It is only when all these factors are implemented cohesively that the design of spaces lend itself to a smooth workflow, optimal efficiency and a quality experience for customers.

Research/Papers focused on the below-mentioned tracks are invited for presentation at the conference.
Track 1 | Responsive Design for Service Industry Domains
Design of service spaces often lends itself to the complexities that are driven by often competing considerations and requirements of key stakeholders. The investors or ownership brings their vision of what space should look like in the form of a narrative or brief that the design team is expected to build upon to initiate the process, it will be safe to state that the ‘design team’ will then typically bring their understanding of what the ‘patron’ would like to see in a form that can be presented for approval of the design with the required level of detailing such that the decision-makers can now witness the expression of their vision or ideas about the space.
Designing spaces for service industry domains like hotels & resorts, food, and beverage retail locations, kitchens, retail spaces, airports, hospitals, and many others is all about finding the right balance between creative expression that would define the look and feel of the spaces and the critical need for these spaces to also respond to ‘operational requirements.
In effect achieve equilibrium between the aesthetics and functionality such that the ‘customer experience’ is of high quality at all times. The diverse range of services and products being offered is quite vast, this requires the design teams to build a strong understanding of the needs and expectations of all stakeholders starting from the patron or ownership to the operational leaders, the employees, and of course, the customers that they intend to attract to their facilities to serve and retain.
Papers presenting research that responds to the complexity that designing high-quality service spaces both front of the house (customer-facing) and the others that represent the back of the house areas, integrating the quintessential tussle amongst the key factors to consider will be well-received under this track.
Indicative themes for the track
