Sat Lally, founder of ERIKI, said:It is fantastic that ERIKIs reputation as a neighbourhood favourite has led to its expansion in such a dominant international environment. There is a glut of new Indian operators competing in an increasingly popular market, so it is great to be successful and we will look forward to drawing on our experiences to create something very special for the Crowne Plaza.

So we are delighted for this opportunity considering the Crowne Plazas consistently high occupancy and mix of guest.
