Description
From army uniform to the top of Indian hospitality. Habib Rehman lived two remarkable lives: first as a soldier, then as the hotelier who rose to the pinnacle of India’s hospitality industry. Borders to Boardroom, published by Roli Books in 2014, tells his extraordinary story in his own words.
Rehman recounts the leap few would dare — from military service to the world of hotels — and the discipline, leadership, and people skills that carried him from the barracks to the boardroom. Along the way comes an insider’s view of Indian hospitality as it grew into a world-class industry. His account of India’s hospitality boom — the new hotels, the new money, the new India — is fascinating.
For business readers and India watchers. A remarkable second act, honestly told. Discipline, warmth, and ambition: a memoir that earns every bit of its inspiration.
From army uniform to the boardroom of Indian hospitality
Habib Rehman lived two remarkable lives: first as a soldier, then as a hotelier who rose to the top of India’s hospitality industry. Borders to Boardroom: A Memoir, published in 2014 by Roli Books, tells his extraordinary story in his own words.
Rehman recounts his journey from military service to the world of hotels — a leap few would dare to make, and even fewer would make so successfully. Along the way he shares the discipline, leadership lessons, and people skills that carried him from the barracks to the boardroom, offering an insider’s view of the Indian hospitality industry as it grew into a global force.
As his publisher notes, it is “a memoir that educates and delights in equal measure” — as valuable for those in the hospitality business as for any reader who loves a life story well told.
