Our entrepreneurial and engineering DNA drives an innovative approach and vision for the hospitality industry. At Shashi we see a growing need for the hospitality industry to embrace innovative technologies and deep analytical approach to drive a better guest experience while maintaining the highest standards for customer service. Shashi is focused on the corporate traveler. We are our guests. We have lived in their shoes. We have travelled millions of miles and zig-zagged the world as a technology corporate traveler. We bring a unique background and tireless passion to help transform and elevate the hospitality experience for the corporate traveler.

• Hospitality Insiders & Outsiders: There is no substitute for experience, but change comes best from outside. Part of our team comes with deep hospitality experience and the other part comes from decades in the technology industry. We are not limited by how things have traditionally been in hospitality. We challenge the status quo every day. We look at everything from a fresh perspective and learn from history to bring us into the future. 

• Engineers & Problem Solvers: Our engineering mindset comes not just from our education and experience but is also part of our DNA. We are problem solvers. We don’t dwell in the past hundred years of hospitality; we are here to help define the next one hundred. Our team also has an extensive data and quantitative analysis background. Data and logic dictate our perspective and solutions, not how things have been or supposed to be. We dive deep into every issue, but never loose perspective. 

• Innovators & Technologists: Our leaders grew up in the technology industry; innovation excites us and drives us. Technology and innovation provide endless possibilities to transform the hospitality industry. We mingle tradition with technology to bring our services and the guest experience to new heights. We are working with other technology companies to bring in cutting edge solutions and services to the hospitality industry. We have designed, developed and implemented an integrated enterprise SaaS cloud computing platform integrated with next-generation APIs to give real-time business analytics data. Further, it connects customer order/billing system, which integrates hotel services, with a guests mobile phone to give the ultimate experience in customer service when using the facilities of our hospitality centers. Furthermore, Shashi Group runs a Center Of Innovation and Excellence (COIE) that has helped us institutionalize and automate best practices in hospitality while giving us the ability to scale.

• Owners & Entrepreneurs: We are not just a third-party management company. Our background in ownership and entrepreneurship has led us to build one of the most premium and top-performing hospitality portfolios in Silicon Valley, as well as to found and run successful tech companies. Both entrepreneurship and ownership require complex problem-solving skills and the ability to forge our own path. At Shashi we never lose sight of the ownership perspective and work tirelessly to go above and beyond our charter.
