RAVI KUMAR MULA
I don’t just manage operations. I make them unforgettable.
New Delhi, India Email: ************@*****.*** Phone: 926-***-**** Work is personal. Systems matter. People remember how you made them feel. That’s what I carry into every process I touch—from a last-minute reservation to a multi-team operational pivot. This isn’t about just doing a job. It’s about doing it so well, it echoes. Not a leap—just the next evolution. I’ve spent 15+ years mastering guest dynamics, room management, and system logic across the hospitality chain. From front desks to executive offices, I’ve seen it all—and now I’m channeling that into travel reservations and CRS. Why it matters? Because empathy, timing, and precision don’t change with the platform. Only the interface does.
