In an industry often dominated by large-format conferences and vendor-led conversations, TechTable arrived in New Delhi with a refreshingly different proposition—and delivered
Hosted at The Electric Room, The Lodhi, the inaugural edition of TechTable brought together some of the most influential minds across hospitality operations, revenue, and commercial leadership for an evening that was as intimate as it was impactful. Co-hosted with UpsellGuru, Rezolv, and Eleven Inc, the forum marked the beginning of what promises to be a defining platform for technology-led dialogue in Indian hospitality.
From the outset, the energy in the room signalled that this was not going to be business as usual. Designed as a high-trust, invitation-only space, TechTable enabled candid, unfiltered conversations—where leaders moved beyond buzzwords to share real experiences, real challenges, and real solutions.
The evening unfolded through immersive technology showcases followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion that tackled the industry’s most pressing questions—from navigating the rapidly evolving global hotel tech landscape to understanding where investments are truly driving returns, and how AI, automation, and data are reshaping the very fabric of guest experience.
What set the forum apart was not just the calibre of attendees, but the quality of conversation—grounded, honest, and deeply relevant.
Reflecting on the vision behind the platform, Hemant Mediratta, Mentor, TechTable, shared, “TechTable was created to bring the right people into one room to have the conversations that actually move the industry forward. Yesterday proved that when you remove the noise, what remains is clarity, collaboration, and a genuine willingness to learn from one another.”
Abhimanyu Lodha, General Manager, The Lodhi highlighted the tangible impact of the technology being showcased, “UpsellGuru has been instrumental in helping us unlock meaningful incremental revenue. What stands out is how seamlessly it integrates into our existing systems while automating key touchpoints—whether it’s pre-arrival communication or targeted upsell offers. The platform does a lot of the heavy lifting in the background, which not only drives consistent results but also ensures our teams can stay focused on delivering great guest experiences. For us, it’s not just about the technology—it’s about the tangible revenue impact it creates across the customer journey.”
With its strong focus on technology and the hospitality industry, Today’s Traveller was a Partner to enhance the value and fundamentals of this sector.
Arjun Gill, Editor & CEO, Today’s Traveller, said, “Technology is no longer an add-on in hospitality; it is the backbone that shapes guest experiences, drives efficiency, and defines how the industry evolves in a digital-first world.”
This sentiment resonated across the room, reinforcing a key takeaway of the evening: technology, when implemented right, should simplify—not complicate—hospitality operations.
The success of the Delhi edition marks a strong beginning for TechTable’s larger ambition. Envisioned as a long-term platform, it will expand into a multi-city series across Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, steadily building towards becoming India’s most authoritative hospitality technology conclave.
If the inaugural evening is anything to go by, TechTable is not just another industry initiative—it is a much-needed shift in how the industry comes together to think, question, and evolve.
