Born with a silver spoon in her mouth to the House of Mewar, Padmaja Kumari Parmar is glad to have been born to parents who have believed in working hard. To have the ‘princess’ tag only means added responsibility to live upto the name and respect that the Mewar dynasty rests upon her shoulders.
Brought up in the epicenter of hospitality, Mewar, the genre has been her second nature for eons. “Being a member of the House of Mewar has helped me enormously as a professional hotelier. I have always maintained that hospitality comes naturally to people from our background. We grew up with lots of people around us—there is protocol to be maintained and hierarchies to be understood and followed,” points out Padmaja. She still moved on to fine polish and globalize her knowledge and started her career in the hospitality industry with the Four Seasons Hotel in New York at age 23. She respects the training she received there even today. She has not looked back from there, and has only hopped levels to put all her skills into practice for HRH Group of Hotels while learning along.
