Having the chance to put training into practice in the real world was a key factor for Rahul in pursuing a hospitality career through his studies at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½.
Completing a master's degree in Hospitality Management*, he went on to serve as food and beverage manager for Indian luxury hotel group Aman Resorts, sourcing food and drink ingredients for customers and overseeing staff development.
