The GNEX Awards have run for 16 years now, organised by Perspective Magazine as the centrepiece of what is widely regarded as the number one awards and networking event for the travel membership industry. The judging is peer-led, the competition is global and the categories span everything from legal services and technology to marketing, sales and individual excellence. Winning once is a milestone. Winning year after year, as Karma Group has done, reflects our position at the vanguard of this fast-changing hospitality category.
As always, Karma’s winners this year reflect the breadth and depth of talent within the company. The OPCS Marketing Team India took Best Marketing Team, recognition for a unit that has consistently translated a complex, aspirational brand into campaigns that actually convert – because they really connect with people. The India Sales Team claimed Best Sales Team, a category that demands both numbers and culture. And then there is George Lobo.
George Lobo, General Manager for Resorts India, was named Best Rising Star, a title that will surprise no one who has worked with him. Based in Goa and educated at IHM Goa, he has built a reputation for decisive leadership, deep loyalty among his teams and a philosophy that hospitality is ultimately about managing people and creating experiences. The award is a first for him personally and a fitting one.
Each year, the GNEX wins confirm that Karma Group’s strength lies in its people. Huge congratulations to our winners.
