New Delhi [India], July 29: Ahmedabad’s hospitality sector has grown considerably in recent years, with international hotel chains including ITC, Marriott, and Hyatt establishing a presence in the city alongside a wave of new restaurant and F&B investment. Industry estimates cited by local business publications put thousands of new hospitality-sector jobs on the horizon as the trend continues.
One figure connected to that broader growth story is Ketan Dave, a hospitality consultant with roots in Gujarat. Dave’s career includes serving as McDonald’s youngest Asia General Manager, where he led the launch and regional scaling of the McCafe brand, followed by a role heading ITC’s hospitality operations across South India. He later served as CEO of Mr. Idli, a South Indian food brand that expanded to more than 250 outlets across India, the US, UK, and Malaysia under his leadership, with further expansion into Singapore, Thailand, and the UAE in progress.
