Some information The Indian Hotels Company

Limited (IHCL) and TAJ Hotel

The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), branded as Taj Hotels Resorts and

Palaces, is an Indian chain of hotels and resorts headquartered in the Oxford House

in Mumbai. This company is a part of the Tata Group, one of India's largest business

conglomerates. Taj Hotels Resort and Palaces owns and operates 93 hotels in 55 locations

across India with an additional 16 international hotels in the Maldives, Malaysia, Australia,

UK, USA, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Africa and the Middle East and employ over 13000 people.

Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata, founder of the Tata Group, opened the Taj Mahal Palace &

Tower, the first Taj property and the first Taj hotel, on 16 December 1903. The building

overlooks the Arabian Sea. He decided to open the grand luxury hotel after an incident

involving racial discrimination at the Watson's Hotel in Mumbai, where he was refused entry

as the hotel did not permit Indians, who were non-white. Hotels which accepted only

European guests were then very common across British India. Jamsetji Tata travelled to

London, Paris, Berlin and Düsseldorf to arrange for materials and pieces of art, furniture and

interior artifacts’ for his hotel. This hotel soon gained the supposed status of the "most

iconic" hotel in India due to its prime location, traditional architecture and massive size.

The concept of Internship

I had an amazing experience working at the vivanta by taj, Whitefield Bangalore for six

months internship the summer during my second year study. Despite my initial nervousness

about working at an Indian company for an entire summer, I was warmly welcomed and

generously supported from Day 1. My internship began without orientation process. Usually I

got chance to work in three departments that is Front office, housekeeping and food and

beverage service. I visited each of the different divisions of the hotel and learned hotel

etiquette. My goals for working in an Indian business were to improve my communication,

interact smoothly with customers and co-workers in Indian, learn formal corporate etiquette,

and learn a little Bangalore on the side. While I was allowed to give input as to which

divisions interested me, I spent most of my time in the food and beverage service department

as it is the main department of the hotel and fit my goals most closely. The food and beverage

service Division oversees the all the restaurants, bars, banquet and in room dining service.

And is responsible for provide quality service for guests. Thus, the food and beverage

division has the most opportunities for interacting with guests and practicing with people. I

really noticed an improvement in my language skills and general ability to think on my feet

through the course of my time in the restaurant. I spend almost 65 days in food beverage

division including coffee shop ,bar and Indian restaurant .most of the time I was in coffee

shop restaurant .when I was in food and beverage division ,I had learned so many thing which

is usefulness in hospitality industry especially in hotels.

After finished food and beverage division I spent next 45 days in front office department.

The front office department oversees the lobby and guest rooms, and is responsible for

customer service, check-in/check-out, sightseeing advice, etc. My first day, all I could do was

to smile and greet guests entering the building, but by the end of my internship, I was leading

guest to their rooms, while carrying their luggage, explaining the hotel, and answering their

questions. It gave me a sense of accomplishment to go from redirecting all questions to the

permanent staff, to answering any question asked of me and proactively dealing with any

problems that a guest might have. I also felt like I was a full contributing member of the staff.

Rather than working a desk job, waiting for a supervisor to find something for me to do, I

was able to lighten the workloads of my co-workers and help with interpreting for foreign

guests. Well I found all the staffs cooperative and understanding while working with them.

They made us familiar with the hotel’s general property

The third department was housekeeping where I found it very complicated to work. I was in

housekeeping department for 45 days .Housekeeping staffs were fewer and we were to help

the staff in cleaning the rooms, One staff used to clean almost around 35 rooms per day

.when I was in housekeeping I get to learn almost all the working procedure and system of

that department because of fewer staff But staffs was very cooperative and they teach me

how to work fast and proper way. However, I learned many things like making bed the whole

cleaning process, identified chemicals to clean various materials, cleaning procedure of

bathroom, dusting, mopping and evening turn down service. And I noticed that Executive


Santosh pathak

housekeeper never motivated the staffs and every briefing time she is shouting their staff. I

think that’s the reason of most of the staffs left their job.

The best part of working at vivanta by taj was developing relationships with my co-workers.

Everyone was friendly, helpful, protective, and inquisitive. I always had someone to eat with

in the employee dining hall, had great conversations about everything from college life in

Nepal to Indian history, and always had a fallback if I couldn’t understand a guest or had to

deal with a difficult situation. My co-workers had so much to teach me about the hotel, about

Bangalore, India, and life working in the “real world.” To make me feel a part of the team

and let me experience another unique aspect of Indian corporate culture. I had so much fun

spending time with and getting to know my co- workers that I could not believe how much I

missed them after the end of the summer.

CONCLUSION

It was a complete useful experience working at the Vivanta By Taj. The friendly Welcoming

staff and the space they have created for a trainee/intern allowed me with full opportunities to

learn and know myself as a worker. This experience brought out my strength and also the

areas I needed to make up. It added more confidence to my Professional approach built a

stronger positive attitude and taught me how to work in Team as a player. The primary

objective of an internship is to gather a real life working experience and put their theoretical

knowledge in practice. This was my first real experience to work in a 5 star deluxe property. I

was quiet nervous about it. During my 6 months of training I have developed a lot of

confidence and courage in this industry.

My experience at the hotel was highly educative one. I went to different departments of the

hotel and got a lot of varied experience. I worked in the three departments of the hotel: -

Housekeeping department, Food and Beverage Service department and Front Office

department. In all these departments I get to learn many things which will be helpful for me

in my future.

I also learned the values and importance of this industry and experienced that this is much

superior field than most of the other field during my training. As a human being, I noticed

many changes in my attitude. I am more confident and more likely to do any work now.

During my training, I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges that came along every single day. I

learned that this is just the beginning of the road and I have to travel a long distance to be a

successful person in this field. But I must say that this experience will prove an objective in

my career in the hotel industry.
