“We are thrilled to see institutions like TLSHS champion the skilling mission,” said Jyoti Mayal, THSC chairperson. “Such partnerships are the backbone of a demand-driven skilling ecosystem that responds to industry needs and supports India’s youth—especially in tourism, one of the most people-centric sectors.”
THSC, a not-for-profit, is promoted by the Confederation of Indian Industry with representation from government, industry, associations, and training institutes across India. Faridabad-based TLSHS offers programs including a B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration, a Diploma in Food Production, and a Diploma in Bakery and Patisserie.

“At The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, we believe in building not just businesses but communities, and skilling is a key pillar of that philosophy,” she said. “By working with THSC, we are proud to contribute to nation-building through youth empowerment and skill creation.”
The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, part of Bharat Hotels Ltd., is a privately owned hotel company based in New Delhi. It operates 12 hotels in India and one in London. Its motto is “limitless hospitality.”
