Atharva College Of Hotel Management

Down in Malad West, right on Marve Road, you will find the Atharva College of Hotel Management. Mumbai is always a bit crowded and noisy, and this part of the city is no different. We spend most of our time inside the building dealing with everything that goes into teaching hospitality. There is always someone practicing how to carry a tray or working in one of the training kitchens. You can usually tell what the cooking class is making by the smell in the hallways around lunchtime. It is a very hands-on kind of place, so it doesn't stay quiet for very long. The students wear their uniforms and they are always rushing from one floor to another. It’s a bit of a maze sometimes, with all the different rooms for laundry practice, front desk setups, and guest room simulations. Out on the street, the Mumbai traffic is constant, but once the students get inside, they focus on their practical work. The staff here has seen many batches of kids come and go over the years. We aren't trying to be a five-star hotel ourselves, just a place where the work actually happens. It’s a lot of cleaning, prep work, and learning the basics of the industry. People from all over the Maharashtra area end up here to get their training done. It is just a regular college day, every day, with a lot of movement and the usual city hustle right outside the door.
