I am deeply honoured and humbled to receive this recognition from the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Assam (HRAA) on November 30, 2024. This award is a tribute to everyone who has been a part of my journey—my family, my team, my peers, the tour operators of Assam, the hospitality industry, and the vibrant communities that make Assam so extraordinary.

May this honour inspire us all to embrace tourism’s transformative power, touching lives and showcasing Assam as a shining beacon of culture, natural beauty, and unmatched hospitality.

I am profoundly grateful for this cherished milestone. Thank you!
