Being recognized as an award-winning Kerala tour operator is one of the proudest moments in our journey—and 17th March 2023 stands as a milestone for our whole team at Paradise Holidays. On this special day, we were honored with the prestigious Kerala Brand Leadership Awards 2023, hosted at the beautiful Taj Malabar Resort & Spa, Cochin.

I, Rakesh, along with our M.D. Ratheesh R Nath and Sales Director Ms. Sreedevi, started from our office at 8:45 AM. Even with little traffic at some key junctions, we reached the venue comfortably and on time, excited for what awaited us.

A Grand Welcome at Taj Malabar

Once we reached, we were guided through the registration counter and led to the Ravi Varma Hall where all the distinguished honorees were seated. The atmosphere was filled with pride, humility, and anticipation.

Dr. R. L. Bhatia, Founder of World CSR Day & World Sustainability, delivered the introduction speech. His stories of resilience, leadership, and innovation—especially those captured during the Covid period—were inspiring.

Dr. Bhatia is known globally as a change management expert, author, trainer, and visionary leader who has influenced major paradigm shifts in quality and corporate leadership. His words truly set the perfect tone for the event.

Celebrating Kerala’s Finest Brands

The award ceremony began with leaders from various industries stepping forward to receive recognition. Prominent winners like:

• Bhima Jewels
• SK Hospital
• CUSAT
• Amrita Business School

…were all acknowledged for their excellence and contribution to Kerala’s development.

And then came our proud moment hearing “Paradise Holidays” called on stage.

Walking up together to receive the Kerala Brand Leadership Award 2023 was more than an achievement; it was a validation of our continuous effort to serve travellers with honesty, quality, and care.

Moments We Cherished

After the ceremony concluded around noon, we had the opportunity to personally meet Dr. R. L. Bhatia and capture a few photos with him. Small discussions happened among winners, sharing experiences and journeys.

Lunch was arranged, and the spread reflected Kerala’s hospitality beautifully. After enjoying it, we stepped outside to click some more pictures with the award, using the serene backdrop of Taj Malabar as the perfect frame.
