MET Institute of PGDM witnessed an engaging and insightful session on "Leading with Values" as part of Aarohan 2026, featuring Chef Nitin Minocha, Executive Chef, The Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL).
The session began with an inspiring address by Dr. Swati Lodha, Director, MET Institute of PGDM, who spoke about the importance of values in shaping individuals, institutions, and future leaders. She also highlighted the core values that define the culture of MET, setting the context for the session.
Students were introduced to the iconic Taj Hotels 26/11 case study, followed by an interactive discussion on how deeply embedded values influence leadership and decision-making during challenging situations.
Building on this, Chef Nitin Minocha shared valuable insights into the Taj Group's value-driven culture, explaining how its principles shape leadership, organisational excellence, and service at every level. The interactive Q&A encouraged students to explore topics such as leadership, organisational culture, decision-making, and the role of values in building resilient organisations.
The session concluded with a powerful takeaway: values are not merely statements; they are reflected in everyday actions, decisions, and leadership. It was a meaningful learning experience that inspired students to embrace value-based leadership in their professional journeys.
