Meet Dhhyey C Sheth: A Veteran of Hospitality and Director at HotelKey Inc.
The hospitality industry is constantly evolving, with technological breakthroughs and changing customer preferences. Business leaders and hoteliers strive to stay ahead of the game through resilience and entrepreneurial abilities.
A veteran with more than a decade and a half of experience, Dhhyey C Sheth, is one leader who attributes this positive shift to his success as Director at HotelKey. Before his current position, he worked as VP at Stayflexi and chief Business Development and Operations at Staah. He embarked on his professional journey with EZEE (Presently known as Yanolja Cloud Solution) as the Head of Global Business Development and Operations.
Academically, Dhhyey completed his graduation in Computer Application and followed that up with a Master’s in e-business and Business Development from the prestigious James Cook University, Singapore.
Thriving Amidst Challenges
The journey of achieving success in hospitality from the ground up is no small feat, and it was no exception for Dhhyey either. His struggles started from an early age, where during his school days, this aspiring business leader did not have the luxury of acquiring a conventional school education.
Growing up in the small town of India, his childhood was spent with a loving family around him and the first big obstacle for Dhhyey came when he moved to Singapore to pursue higher studies. By the time he finished his Master’s, Dhhyey had honed his skills with a clear focus on achieving success in the hospitality industry.
His initial years in the industry were around learning the ins and outs of the hospitality world, but being the fast learner that Dhhyey is, he absorbed it all like a sponge. Growing from strength to strength, Dhhyey quickly established himself as a recognized leader in the hotels and hospitality domain, building a global network spanning over 120 countries and every continent around the world.
Achieving Excellence by Nurturing an Inclusive Culture
At the heart of Dhhyey’s success lies an inclusive, friendly, and focused work culture backed by unwavering hard work.
“The IT team has great camaraderie because the majority of them have been working here since inception”, said Sheth. “They are familiar with each other. This is the most satisfying aspect of my work with HotelKey.”
Currently, Sheth oversees global business development and operations management for HotelKey. He is also in charge of overseeing the operations of HoteKey’s newly established Surat office.
Founded in 2015, the company is a pioneer in creating a comprehensive cloud-based hospitality suite, offering services for hoteliers around the world. HotelKey offers a comprehensive portfolio, including smart PMS, POS, CRS, and chargeback support, for seamless property management and enhanced guest experience.
Dhhyey’s work and team inspire him to succeed every day. Leveraging the talent at HotelKey, he devises innovative strategies for helping hotels and resorts worldwide enhance their operations.
“I firmly believe that business owner only crafts the idea but taking that idea to the fruition stage is the outcome of dedication and hard work from a team of talented and dedicated individuals,” said Sheth. “Therefore, no matter how established you become in your professional journey, always treat your team fairly and promote inclusiveness. It is the mantra I live by every day.”
