Club Mahindra CEO Podcast Interview

There’s a reason why I was looking forward to meeting up with Ramesh Ramanathan, CEO of Club Mahindra. I’m always in awe of folks who dream big and more importantly, see that dream work. Ramesh is the main person who started Club Mahindra from scratch and it has now grown to become the Number One resort chain in India.

I’ve known Ramesh since the Sify days. He was the head of consumer Internet division then and did quite well until he decided to get back to the company he founded.

I went to the colorful office of Club Mahindra and we had an interesting two hour meeting with him. A condensed 25 minute video of our conversation can be found in the video below.

Disclosure: I’m an external consultant for Club Mahindra and help them with social media strategies.

    congrats Kiruba.

    Happy to hear that you are an ‘external consultant’ on their social media strategies. If it had been their holiday packaging instead of media strategy, I would have withdrawn from my membership there

    In response to my Review ” For Worst of Worst Services Get Club-Mahindra Membership”, the Regional Manager – Member-Relations Gave reply by mail.( copy attached )though I have cancelled my membership because of their lousy & worst servgices I have experienced within three weeks, for Refunds I am writing mails & reviews for last 9 months, So I suggest if you want “Worst Of Worst Services, then get Club Mahindra Membership”,

    I think , I don’t have to explain The Regional Manager that Today is 18-10-2009, and again club-mahindra has missed their promissed date, just to keep their Name right on top of the list of Worst Services Providers.

    Greetings from Club Mahindra !

    In continuation to our discussion today morning,regret this inadvertent delay and with this email we would like to confirm that your refund cheque will be released and sent to you on or before 15th October 2009

    Thank you for being patient as I sincerely wish there was something we could do to keep you back as our member and as discussed at some point down the line you would relook at us as your holiday company of first choice.
