These are three, online sessions, of two hours each (18:00 - 20:00 hrs) on 23rd, 24th and 25th September. 

At each session, two legendary speakers will share their unique perspectives, experiences and long-term forecast on the industry's development - Indian and global - and even answer your questions.

They will specifically list the new skills you should have in order to secure the best jobs.

Yes, we have a very small courtesy fee per session of INR 200/- taxes included. This is to be paid online at the time of booking your session(s).

Payment mode options include UPI, wallet, net banking, debit and credit cards. Your transactions are secure as we use PhonePe and CC Avenues, two of India's top payment platforms. 

Yes you can. Actually, we recommend you attend all three sessions as each speaker will share their unique perspective. You will receive an all-round update of your future opportunities.

You can attend any one, two or all three sessions. The choice is yours.

Yes of course! That is why we have the sessions in the evenings. Your family and friends are an important part of your future and they too can attend the sessions to understand the wonderful career opportunities available to you.

However, they may have to register too if they attend on their own devices. One login/account enables only one device at a time.

We will be speaking in both English and Hindi in a slow, calm manner so everyone can follow well. Some speakers can speak more languages and may even answer your questions in your language if possible.

Most likely yes. We are working on an automated system to send you your participation certificate via email within a week of the final session.

If you apply for a refund after the sessions are over, then you will forfeit the registration fee. Refunds requests, if received by 20 September 2025, will be considered on a case-to-case basis.

Of course you can. Everyone is welcome, even HMCT faculty, ex-students, non-students and non-hospitality professionals. That is the wonderful aspect of our industry, there is something for everyone.

However, a large part of the focus will be on the opportunities for current hospitality students and recent graduates. More power to you if you see value in attending the Commencement Series 2025.

Not really. We use Microsoft Teams, which is accessible via a normal web browser and their laptop/mobile app. Though not essential, we recommend you download their app and register in advance for a better experience.
