\n18 years of collective experience primarily in across all functions – sales \/ operations \/ marketing – and having worked with organizations like Star cruise, P&O & princess cruises, Cox & Kings, Thomas Cook & Sahara, Tanuja found her forte & domain expertise lay in MICE & small & large format Corporate Incentive & Events.<\/p>\n

A specialist in outbound MICE, she is known for the quality & large format MICE movements she pulls off – corporate clients call her when they want \u201cout of the box\u201d incentives. She is currently the National Head – MICE with the Network 18 group.<\/p>\n

Reasons For Joining Ayanaant<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the outset I congratulate my dear friend & colleague Vikas Khanduri for this unique initiative. He & his team have taken the first step to bring together a knowledge forum of this kind in the tourism industry. How could I not be a part of this initiative & support this first step? I am very happy to be a part of this initiative!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the passion that drives us tourism professionals – and here we are all part of AYANAANT – sharing knowledge & experiences, putting our minds together to establish some best practices & encourage the new generation to be a part of this wonderful industry! No matter how taxing the planning is – a happy client sending photographs or a corporate writing a thank you mail – is all we look forward to. We are all part of this mad industry because of the passion we have.<\/p>\n

And I think coming together AYANAANT will lead us all to find a method to this madness!
\nI applaud this \u201cfirst of its kind event\u201d in the tourism industry and congratulate Viva Voyages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Director, Corporate Events (I) Pvt. Ltd.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Corporate
\nDeepak\u2019s foray into Event Management was not by choice, but coerced into it. All that changed with his first event. It became a passion and that same passion has continued for the last 14 years.<\/p>\n

Setup in 2001, Corporate Events (I) Pvt. Ltd is one of India\u2019s leading event management agencies in the Corporate sector<\/p>\n

Having done events PAN India and in over 20 countries, Deepak found a need with his clients for a \u201cOne Stop Shop\u201d which included travel & events, hence the foray into overseas travel merged with events 8 years ago.<\/p>\n

A simple mantra that\u2019s worked wonders for Corporate Events is to remember that, every event is \u201cTHE\u201d event for any client. And, to ensure the events success, the same importance has to be maintained and imbibed by the agency implementing it. EVERY TIME!<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Viva Voyages for creating the platform. Ayanaant, where industry stalwarts converge together, share their insights and possibly bring some sense to the madness. A first ever initiative, which I am sure will go a long way in benefitting the industry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nMr. Arun Hattangadi is a Post Graduate in MA (Economics) from Bangalore and also a Cost Accountant (inter).

TMIC has serviced over 1000 movies across 50 countries and is one of the leading brands in this domain. Travel Masters was rechristened as \u2018\u2019TMIC\u2019\u2019 as it was rejuvenated by a bunch of young aspiring Senior Executives, who moved out of large Multinational Travel Companies and joined hands with Travel Masters to change the face of the organization and built it into a Pan India Travel brand. TMIC is a well-established brand within the travel and tourism industry and has aggressively expanded across the country with 11 branches, present in all main cities with a team of around 160 people across India and are all set to be among the top travel brands in the country in the next couple of years.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Mr. Vikas Khanduri for this initiative.
\nBeing in this industry for so many years, I always thought that there was no platform or forum where there is an exchange of information & experience. Glad that Ayanaant is giving us all an opportunity to gather under one roof and have a different perspective of a travel trade. Looking forward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
