Akshay Kavra Appointed General Manager of ITC Narmada, Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad, Gujarat – ITC Hotels proudly announces the appointment of Akshay Kavra as the new General Manager of ITC Narmada, a Luxury Collection hotel in the heart of Ahmedabad. A seasoned hotelier with a strong foundation in hospitality and over 18 years of experience, Akshay brings with him deep operational expertise, strategic leadership, and a commitment to excellence in guest experience.

Akshay’s association with ITC Hotels began early. A graduate of the prestigious Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration (WGSHA), Manipal, he later joined the Management Trainee Programme at the renowned Hotel Management Institute (HMI), formerly known as WMI — a stepping stone that launched his journey within ITC Hotels, one of India’s most respected luxury hospitality chains.

Over the years, Akshay has held key leadership roles across several iconic ITC Hotels, including ITC Grand Chola (Chennai), ITC Sonar (Kolkata), ITC Mughal (Agra), Sheraton New Delhi, and the legendary ITC Maurya (New Delhi). Across each property, he has demonstrated a consistent ability to elevate service standards, foster high-performing teams, and drive guest satisfaction with precision and poise.

“I am honored to take on the role of General Manager at ITC Narmada,” said Akshay. “This property is a testament to ITC’s vision of responsible luxury that is rooted in the local culture, and I look forward to working with my team to further enhance its reputation as a benchmark for refined Indian hospitality in the region.”

“Ahmedabad itself is a city that is rapidly emerging as a dynamic centre of gravity in the country’s evolving landscape with world class sporting events, global conventions and mega concerts fuelling its infrastructural momentum. It is both, a privilege and a strategic opportunity to contribute to the presence of ITC Hotels in a city so firmly on the rise” he went on to say.

His appointment marks a new chapter for ITC Narmada, as it continues to serve as a landmark destination for business and leisure travellers alike in western India.
