The Oberoi Group - A company with a 80 year history of achieving excellence and leadership in the hotel industry.

“Our company’s vision and values and the resulting success is based on a strong foundation. That foundation is our founder Rai Bahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi. He was born in 1898 in erstwhile undivided Punjab, which is now in Pakistan. He was only six months old when his father died. He arrived penniless in Shimla as a young man, and he found a job at a monthly salary of Rs. 50, as the front desk clerk at the Cecil Hotel. Today, The Oberoi Group owns the hotel The Oberoi Cecil. But success and fortune did not, come easily to him. Initiative, resourcefulness and hard work, combined with the capability to overcome the most overwhelming odds can best characterize him. His vision and values continue to be part of our company culture and life.” “His son, Mr. P.R.S. Oberoi is the Executive Chairman. Mr. P.R.S. Oberoi is credited with placing Oberoi Hotels on the international luxury traveller’s map by opening several new luxury hotels in in India and internationally. Under his leadership, Oberoi Hotels & Resorts have received numerous international awards. It is Mr. Oberoi’s firm belief that people are the most valuable asset of any organisation.
