Name: Patu Keswani
Profile: Founder, Lemon Tree Hotels
Guiding Principles: It's very simple equation — my job is to take care of the employees, the employees’ job is to take care of the guests and guests would then take care of the returns
I had never stayed at this place before. It was the Lemon Tree hotel. The folks at MindTree, Pune, said it is an affordable, full-service hotel just right for business travellers. The place had a really clean bed, a good shower and wireless connectivity — my priorities.

on Nov 24, 2009All the people have a dream in them to become an entrepreneur at some point of time. Like MindTree's Subroto, Patu Keswani also decided to take the entrepreneurial path after getting a strong corporate experience. All the business management students have a good lesson to take away from this interview by Subroto. The part I liked most is that when asked about how he feels today with his growing business, he told about creating employment and getting satisfaction from others happiness. People like these should be brought out to the world in a big way. Regards, Vijay
