JOURNEY TO GLORY: Mr Sandeep Vermani, Founder and Director of Alpha Tours and Chef & Butler

They say, “If you want to achieve something extra-ordinary then, you need to do something that’s never been done before.”

A lot of us have heard about various success stories, took inspiration, felt enthusiastic for a while and go back to our routine again. But sometimes we feel a connection with a story that it makes us think, if such simple lives could take the courage to take such big dreams to completion, so could we. And then we start taking small steps on to the ladder to success, one by one.

Today, we’ll be talking about Mr. Sandeep Vermani, Founder and Director of Alpha Tours and Chef & Butler, who took his passion forward in the arena of hospitality and travelling and is now among the leading businessmen in India.
Here are some excerpts from our conversation:
1. Mr. Vermani, having achieved this success whom do you think was your biggest driving force?
A- I’ve been an Engineering graduate but always had the zest to travel at the back of my mind. Also, passion for food inspired every aspect of consulting & designing practice. At the same time I am a strong believer in nature. I take lot of inspiration from nature.

2. When was it that you decided to take on your passion as profession and how was the initial journey like?
A- Well, it was around 1998 when I decided to turn my passion into profession. But before starting up my own firm, I’d worked in a private engineer company and soon set myself free from the usual to stand out from the crowd. Then on wards I started doing something different that led to setting up camps, specializing in the concept of family camping in the year 2000.
3. It’s been over two decades now for Alpha Tours and Chef & Butler. What do you think is still keeping it as refreshing and competitive as it was initially?
A- Alpha Tours and Chef & Butler have made a name for themselves in the hospitality and travelling platform. It is a brand signifying quality and reliability for people who wish to travel in full freedom and have our constant assistance at the same time. You too would agree when around 2000 this concept was slowly picked up in the rest of India.

4. Tell us something about yourself as a professional. New young entrepreneurs must have something to learn from you. Share with us some key points.

I’d like to tell them if you aspire to be at the top and make hard work your action plan, then every step is worthy, giving you its bit of experience and success.
