KOCHI — Kochi Marriott Hotel has appointed Sri Ram Kumar V as Director of Engineering, placing a hospitality engineering professional with 14 years of experience across India and the Middle East in charge of the property's technical operations.
Sri Ram Kumar V Steps Into the Director of Engineering Role at Kochi Marriott Hotel
In his new role, Sri Ram Kumar V oversees all engineering and maintenance functions at Kochi Marriott Hotel, the five-star property located within Lulu International Shopping Mall in Edappally — one of Kerala's most recognisable hospitality addresses. His responsibilities span preventive maintenance, sustainability initiatives, regulatory compliance, safety protocols and emergency preparedness across the hotel's full technical infrastructure.
He works in close coordination with department heads and internal teams to keep engineering operations running without disruption to the guest experience — which at a full-service Marriott property means managing everything from HVAC and electrical systems to building management and energy performance simultaneously.
Fourteen Years in Hospitality Engineering Across India and the Middle East
Sri Ram Kumar V brings 14 years of engineering operations experience specifically within the hospitality sector. His career has taken him across properties in India and the Middle East, giving him exposure to different regulatory environments, technical standards and climate conditions — all of which shape how a hotel's engineering function needs to be set up and managed.
His background includes hotel pre-opening work, which means he understands how engineering systems are designed and commissioned before a property opens, not just how they are maintained once it is running. Pre-opening engineering experience is less common than operational experience, and it adds a layer of technical grounding that is difficult to acquire any other way.
His areas of focus over the years have covered energy management, preventive maintenance planning and operational continuity across properties of different scales and segments.

"I am honored to join Kochi Marriott Hotel and am committed to delivering reliable, efficient, and sustainable engineering operations that enhance guest experiences while collaborating closely with colleagues across departments."
