Check in, step up as Westin Jaipur gets a new boss
MUMBAI: Just as Marriott clocks a landmark stay in India, a new leader checks in at Jaipur’s luxury address. The Westin Jaipur Kant Kalwar Resort & Spa has appointed Kamaljit Singh as its General Manager, aligning the leadership change with Marriott International opening its 200th property in the country.
An alumnus of S.C.H.M. Mangalore, Singh brings with him a career shaped across global luxury brands, spanning high-energy city hotels and complex resort destinations. Known for a people-first leadership style, he has built a reputation for tightening operations, lifting revenues and blending international standards with strong local character earning multiple industry recognitions along the way.
At Westin Jaipur Kant Kalwar, Singh will steer the resort’s strategic direction with a clear focus on wellbeing and intuitive service, core to the Westin brand promise. The aim: position the property as a leading luxury and wellness destination in Rajasthan, offering what the team calls a distinct “Westin lens” on Jaipur.
That lens brings together heritage and balance whether through restorative experiences at the Heavenly Spa, curated encounters with the Aravali landscape, or regional flavours at Ira, the resort’s Indian specialty restaurant. The resort’s recreational spread, from jogging and cycling tracks to cricket turf and multi-sport courts, underlines a push to make wellness active rather than ornamental.
“It’s an honour to lead the resort at such a historic moment,” Singh said, pointing to the property’s broad mix of fitness, leisure and family-friendly offerings, including a dedicated Kids Club. “The idea is to ensure every guest leaves feeling clearer, lighter and recharged.”
With Singh at the helm, Westin Jaipur Kant Kalwar enters its next phase at a moment when Marriott’s India story hits a significant number 200 and counting adding both scale and fresh leadership to the group’s regional ambitions.

Raj Cooling Systems launches Agreyas appliances brand
Emraan Hashmi named brand ambassador for consumer appliance push.
MUMBAI: A company known for cooling solutions is now heating up its ambitions in the home appliances market. Raj Cooling Systems Pvt. Ltd. has launched a new consumer appliances brand, Agreyas, marking its entry into India’s rapidly expanding home appliances sector valued at more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The move represents a strategic diversification for the company, which has traditionally focused on cooling solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Through Agreyas, the firm plans to tap into growing consumer demand for energy efficient and technology driven household appliances.
To build brand visibility, Agreyas has appointed Emraan Hashmi as its brand ambassador. The campaign has been developed under the banner of Zoommantra Productions, with actor and filmmaker Rohit Roy contributing to the creative direction.
The brand’s initial portfolio will include mid premium air conditioners, washing machines, geysers and other white goods designed to cater to modern Indian households seeking efficient and reliable appliances.
Raj Cooling Systems, founder and chairman Kalpesh Ramoliya said the launch aligns with the company’s broader expansion plans.
“The launch of Agreyas is in line with our vision to build a strong presence in India’s consumer electronics and home appliances market. The brand has been developed as a standalone identity to meet the evolving needs of Indian consumers,” he said.
Hashmi said the collaboration comes at a time when Indian buyers are increasingly looking for innovative and functional home solutions.
“I’m looking forward to working with Agreyas at a time when consumers are seeking more innovative and efficient home products. The brand reflects changing consumer behaviour around functionality, innovation and ease of use,” he said.
Raj Cooling Systems plans to invest around 10 million dollars in developing the brand, with an additional 5 million dollars earmarked over the next three to five years for product development and distribution expansion.
Agreyas will follow a multi channel distribution approach, selling through online platforms, retail outlets and dealer networks aimed at both urban and semi urban markets across India.
With the launch, the company is positioning Agreyas as a standalone consumer facing brand while continuing to leverage its existing manufacturing, engineering and research capabilities built through its core cooling solutions business.
