Sandip Mukherjee is former Director of Operations and General Manager of Taj Hotels Worldwide - which basically means he’s seen more five-star breakfasts than most of us have had croissants. When he’s not plotting the next short-story inspired by decades in hospitality (this being his fourth published book), he moonlights as an Academic Adviser and Consultant - a fancy way of saying he gives advice people actually listen to, or at least he hopes - they do!
Sandip and his wife are incurable travellers, often found chatting with strangers in distant lands, sampling local cuisines, and gently embarrassing their children and grand-children with how friendly they are. They collect stories, experiences, and the occasional excess baggage charge - all in the name of culture and travel.
Enjoy these outrageously funny, poignant, human tales penned by him in this new, third offering of his Hotelwallah series.

Tales draw from real moments, by Sandip -anecdotes shared by the venerable Mr. Ratan Tata and that of the ever-generous super-star - Mithun Chakraborty.
Stories featuring larger-than-life general managers, curious guests, and the unpredictable rhythm of hotel life. Travel, culture, and chaos blend into accounts - both humorous and heartwarming.
This is hospitality beyond the rulebook-humane and instinctive.
Go ahead, enjoy reading the Hotelwallah’s new tales.
