    Veetika Deoras, Vice President – Strategy and Brands, The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL)

    David and IHCL’s Veetika Deoras wax philosophical in this episode. They discuss India’s gradual unlocking, and potential sidestepping an all-but-certain second wave of infections. They ponder the virus as a catalyst for change and introspection amongst consumers in a country where rapid tech adoption is democratising knowledge, even in the most rural places.  And of course, these two avid philosophers eventually come round to the ontology of brand. And of how a brand’s purpose is nothing without action.

    Andrew Fay, President, The Gettys Group

    Andrew Fay, President of The Gettys Group, beams in from Chicago to chat with David in this episode. The long-time friends and fellow Cornell grads cast a wide net: the state of Brand America; business as a force for good; the perks and pains of being grounded. And that’s all in the first few minutes.  Will 2020 turn out to be an accelerator for the hospitality industry? Andrew is carefully optimistic. Tech adoption rates have soared broadly over the last few months, and our industry is no exception. He expects to see hotels bringing the outdoors in through biophilic design and highly purified air. But in the end, he reminds us, a focus on what really matters now will be the greatest driver of future success.

    David Abraham, Co-founder and CEO, Outpost

    In this episode, Catherine is joined by David Abraham, co-founder of Outpost—a network of co-living, co-working and social spaces for location-independent professionals. A long-time remote-worker himself, David shares how an afternoon at a Tokyo Starbucks sparked the idea for Outpost. He discusses the key drivers of what he calls the ‘remote revolution’, the trend of offices becoming less about physical spaces and more about networks.  In David’s view, the COVID-19 pandemic validates the grand experiment: remote work is viable. From that, we can estimate the standard workweek will evolve, as will business travel. Rather than business leading leisure, he expects to see more leisure travellers taking their business with them. And for hospitality players targeting remote workers, their offerings must resonate with the brand. Providing a desk alone just isn’t enough anymore.
