Sachin Kumar, Front Office Manager for Radisson Hotel Jamshedpur Pre-Opening, Nominated for HCP Front Office Leader Award 2025

A Strategic Leader Specializing in Hotel Pre-Opening and Launch Excellence

Sachin Kumar is a distinguished hospitality professional with a unique and proven specialization in the critical pre-opening and launch phase of luxury hotels. Currently at the helm as the Front Office Manager for the pre-opening of Radisson Hotel Jamshedpur, his career is marked by successive leadership roles in launching new properties, most notably at Radisson Resort Goa Baga. His comprehensive skill set in planning, team building, and operational setup has earned him a nomination for the prestigious HCP Front Office Leader Award 2025.

Pre-Opening Specialist: From Concept to Operational Readiness

Sachin’s expertise lies in transforming a hotel from a construction site to a fully operational luxury establishment. His responsibilities encompass the entire pre-opening lifecycle: participating in project meetings for layout planning, finalizing Property Management Systems (PMS), and defining all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). He excels in building teams from the ground up—recruiting, onboarding, and designing comprehensive training programs—and conducting trial runs to ensure a flawless guest journey from day one.

Dual Expertise in Front Office Leadership and Revenue Strategy

Sachin possesses a rare combination of deep operational knowledge and sophisticated revenue management acumen. Prior to his current role, he served as Assistant Revenue & Reservation Manager, where he oversaw pricing strategies, competitive benchmarking, and dynamic forecasting. This dual expertise allows him to align front office operations directly with financial goals, ensuring the department contributes maximally to occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR from the outset.

A Foundation Built with Premier Luxury Brands

Sachin’s professional philosophy and standards were shaped during his formative years with the iconic Taj Hotels group, including Vivanta and Taj Mahal properties. This experience instilled in him an unwavering commitment to high service standards, meticulous guest history management, and effective service recovery. This luxury background provides a strong foundation for his current work in establishing a five-star service culture at new Radisson properties.

Proven Leader in Team Development and Cross-Functional Coordination

A natural leader, Sachin is adept at motivating and managing front office teams to deliver exceptional service. His experience includes conducting performance appraisals, scheduling, and continuous coaching. He also excels as a central communication link, coordinating seamlessly with Housekeeping, Security, F&B, and Project teams to ensure all guest needs are anticipated and met, which is especially critical during the chaotic and detail-intensive pre-opening period.

Sachin Kumar's nomination for the HCP Front Office Leader Award recognizes his specialized and highly valuable skill set in hotel pre-openings, his strategic blend of operational and revenue management skills, and his proven ability to build, train, and lead teams that successfully launch and operate luxury hotel brands to their highest potential.
