Zostel

Vice President Operations

Dec 2024Present · 1 yr 3 mos · Remote

  • As VP of Operations at Zostel, I lead the strategic and on-ground execution of our hospitality operations across India and beyond, ensuring each Zostel embodies our promise of unforgettable community-driven travel. I oversee everything from property performance and experience design to SOP standardization, cross-functional ops innovation, and regional team alignment.
  • My work spans scaling operational playbooks across 60+ locations, deploying real-time audit systems, driving vibe-based property evaluations, and launching transformation programs to align local teams with Zostel’s core values. I bridge data, culture, and people—building feedback loops between guests, ground teams, and leadership to fuel continuous improvement.
  • With a strong pulse on both the customer journey and local operational nuance, I drive interventions that optimize infrastructure, hygiene, community engagement, and staff training, balancing efficiency with the authenticity that defines Zostel.
  • Currently focused on expanding Zostel’s presence to global markets—starting with the U.S.—and integrating Zo World’s digital layer into the physical hostel experience, I’m building the operational engine that powers the next generation of Zostel properties worldwide.
