In this latest edition of Staff Spotlight we visit the picturesque shores of Goa, where Manoj Salunke is part of Karma Group’s Indian Sales team!
Hi Manoj, tell us a little about your working day as a Sales Consultant for Karma Group India…
On an average day at work, I start by getting in touch with onsite Members who’ve checked in and have been allocated to me. This way, I can respond to any queries or concerns they may have and get things organised for them at the start of their holiday. I then do a quick check on the presentations I have lined up for the day. This has my top priority.
What’s your favourite hidden gem in South Goa that you recommend to our Members?
I’d highly recommend checking out Tortoise Rock in South Goa. It’s a unique natural rock formation in the sea, and looks like a turtle. You can’t actually touch it, which I think is great! It’s intended to stay pristine. But it makes for a great view, especially from the nearby Honeymoon Beach and Butterfly Beach. It’s one of those lesser known spots that’s worth seeing.
We know you love helping Members plan their dream vacations, but what’s the ultimate travel destination you’d like to visit someday?
Spending time in Australia would be a dream vacation for me. I’ve heard so much about its unique landscapes and I’d love to explore some of them. The beaches are stunning, with clear waters and white sands. With such a variety of plants and wildlife, I think it’s a fantastic place for those who love nature.
What’s the best thing about working with our Goa team?
Working with the Goa Team is truly a pleasure. Their everyday enthusiasm is contagious, making work so much fun. The mood here is always upbeat and positive and it helps on days when things are tough. I appreciate the camaraderie and support, and I really enjoy working here.
If you had to choose between a relaxing beach getaway or a cultural city adventure, which would you pick, and why?
The Goan in me would pick a relaxing beach getaway over a city adventure, any day. It’s amazing how a day at the beach can revitalise your soul. Walking along the shore is time well spent, and to me, the beach is more than just a place – it’s a feeling, the ultimate cure for a bad day.
Goa is known for its vibrant culture and festivals. What’s your most-loved Goan festival, and how would you recommend Members experience it?
It may sound clichéd, but according to me, Christmas is the best time to be in Goa. Everything gets so festive – the streets are lit up, the markets are decorated with tinsel and buntings, and decorated Christmas trees sparkle! A drive through Goa puts you in a great mood with homes and churches beautifully decked out.
For Members truly looking to get into the Christmas spirit, I recommend visiting a local market to soak in the festive atmosphere and pick up a few local Christmas goodies.
What do you like to do in your free time when you’re not busy helping the sales team?
I love playing cricket. It’s not just a fun outdoor sport but a great way to stay fit and active. It promotes teamwork and cooperation, which are key values for me, both on and off the field. Holidays and my days off from work are perfect for getting together with friends for a good match.
Goa is famous for its diverse and delicious cuisine – What’s your top Goan dish recommendation for Members looking to savour the local flavours?
For anyone looking to try some local Goan flavours, I’d definitely recommend the Goan Fish / Prawn Curry. This delicious dish is the perfect combination of the sweetness of coconut and the heat of red chillies. It soaks into succulent fresh fish or prawns and is usually served with fluffy rice. It’s a staple in most Goan homes and also popular in Goan restaurants.
Manoj is amazing. I had interacted with from the time we took fractional ownership and on his advise upgraded further . I never felt like he was trying to convince. He goes beyond selling the membership.
No wonder he continues to remain in touch and available for any query and advise. Salute to his quality as human being ( beyond a sales and marketing person )
I think The Karma Group has picked the right staff to Spotlight.
We have known Manoj for more than 10 years and he has always been willing to assist us at anytime, be it advising us on our vacation or sightseeing, he is very polite and courteous and has really made our trips memorable ones. We wish him all the best and may all his dreams come true.
This is so great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing William
Manoj is Like our Lifeline of Karma. From the Day we Signed Till Date we have always dependent on his wonderful guidance related to Holidays per se
That is great Manoj, keep rocking as always
Best wishes
Manoj is indeed a very dedicated person who works relentlessly to provide comfort to the members and provides guidance for them to enjoy their vacation, thank you Dear Manoj for your support and help always.
Manoj is a gem of a person. Our best wishes is always there for him for further progress in his career.
We have 2 core memberships within our family and Manoj is always our go to person. He never fails to deliver. Manoj’s customer service and outreach are absolutely impeccable! Thank you Manoj for all your support, may your professional journey in Karma soar great heights!
Manoj is very helpful and cooperative and is very friendly with members. He helps all with correct information about resorts and destinations plus the cultural hobbits of locals etc. which help us all to finalize our holiday destination. As a marketing person he is not pressurising customers but giving correct information and explaining everything in details help all customers to opt for his suggestions and guidance. Solving problems and customer’s problem entirely to their satisfaction is I think speciality of Manoj. All the best wishes to you Manoj for your bright future.

I think Manoj is very straightforward and honest with our queries and ready with solutions. Hoping for more in the future. All the best, keep up the spirit

We wish him nothing but the best.

Our relationship with Karma Group goes a long way back, many years ago. We met with Manoj more than a year ago and upgraded to a Fractional Ownership. Quintessentially, our relationship with Karma Group is to have loads of holiday fun, relax and enjoy and see our investments grow, yielding effectively the tangible and the intangible returns. Manoj brought with him a comfort zone that reassured in us that we are indeed a part of the Karma Family and have made the right investment choices in the Karma Group. Manoj has backed his top notch professionalism with down to earth, honest, genuine, transparent, unbiased and non manipulative professional advice and service. He is such a support always. If we do need anything, he’s just a call away. He is indeed an asset to the Karma Group and we wish him huge success and well deserved growth in Karma…..Manjula & Raj

We met Manoj Salunke at Haathi Mahal as part of our first Royal Goan family vacation 14 yrears since becoming a member and he made a very positive impression through his genuine lookout for welfare and requirements of his customers. Our association grew over a couple of days and in the end we landed up upgrading our fractional ownership due to his ability to understand and address our uinque needs and constraints and go above the call of duty to make things happen. All the best Manoj !

Karma prides itself on creating happy and memorable holiday experiences for us . On one of our vacation in Haathi Mahal we met the Relationship manager Mr Manoj who has encouraged us to be fractional member. He’s polite attitude and clear and transparent thought process made it easy for new member to be a part of Karma family. Our association grew over the year with Manoj ji where he became our one stop person advicer for any destination. With his experience and kind wisdom most of our trips in India and abroad became so convenient to manage and enjoyable. Appreciate his commitment and dedication towards work.
Manoj is an excellent person and a very good sales representative. He connects well with people and is always available for help . A great asset we wish him more hights to achieve
