Divyam Johri was placed with the Oberoi Group of Hotels and Resorts as a Sales Executive, on-campus at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida, just over 4 years ago. Neither his faculty nor colleagues at Jaipuria Noida are surprised by the fact that he has already made it to the mid-management level. Now an Assistant Sales Manager in the International Travel Trade section of the Sales Department, Divyam is a natural when it comes to people skills. 

“Travel Trade is the collective term for tour operators, wholesalers and travel agents. My job is to manage key accounts for The Oberoi Group of Hotels & Resorts along with the Trident Hotel. I deal with International Travel Trade – right across the globe – to ensure the bottom-line of better occupancy. Oberoi is a great brand, and has provided me a learning platform for Global Interactions along with representations at trade marts.”

 Divyam is currently involved with customer engagement projects across the Far Eastern countries for various Destination Management Consultants. He feels that the Oberoi Group of Hotels & Resorts is an organisation that has raised on people-skills, and that’s what makes his job so fulfilling. 

“I owe a lot to the knowledge sessions with the faculty and interactions with industry mentors at Jaipuria Noida. Jaipuria Noida beautifully balances classroom and real corporate learning. The foreign language module in German, which I subscribed to at Jaipuria Noida, has been very helpful in my customer interactions and engagements over the last 5 years. Jaipuria Noida also paired international learning with a strategic tie-up for a student exchange programme with University of Applied Sciences, Finland. This gave me opportunities for cross-cultural training and insights into International Business Management.” 

He believes that Jaipuria Noida taught him a very valuable lesson, which has held him in very good stead in the corporate world, as well as life – ‘You Get What You Give’. 

“My batch-mates and I came from varied learning backgrounds and disciplines. It led to a near perfect amalgamation of competencies and team work. My career so far has been a wonderful journey, which began at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida. Mark my words, very soon you will find alumni of Jaipuria Institute of Management walking the path of global success.” 

Divyam is a die-hard Jaipuria alumnus who never passes up an opportunity tosocialise with his batch-mates. If they are not meeting up in person, he always makes it a point to keep in touch on Facebook.
