Club Mahindra Leads with Inclusion: Transitions Acacia Palms in Goa into an All-Women-Run Resort

Club Mahindra, the flagship brand of Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Limited, has announced a ground-breaking initiative with the transformation of its Acacia Palms resort in Goa into an all-women-run property under its portfolio. This initiative marks a historic milestone as Acacia Palms becomes the first resort of its kind across the Club Mahindra Portfolio.

The transformation of Acacia Palms into an all-women-run resort underlines Club Mahindra's unwavering commitment to gender diversity, inclusion, and women empowerment in the hospitality industry.

From resort operations to the guest services, every aspect of the resort is managed by a team of talented and dedicated women. Many of these employees come from diverse hospitality backgrounds, with several of them stepping into roles for the first time in areas such as security, engineering, general technicians (electrical, mechanical), horticulture, food production and kitchen stewarding. This initiative not only provides them with invaluable opportunities to develop their skills but also empowers them to build meaningful careers and thrive within the hospitality industry. It is also aimed at fostering a more inclusive and equitable workplace while setting a benchmark in the global hospitality industry.

Club Mahindra is actively partnering with local women entrepreneurs and artisans to integrate their skills and products into the resort offerings, promoting community upliftment and sustainable development.

Speaking about the milestone, Manoj Bhat, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Limited, stated, "We are thrilled to announce that our Acacia Palms Resort in Goa is now an all-women-staff property and is a true reflection of our steadfast commitment to gender diversity, inclusion, and women empowerment."

Tanvi Choksi, Chief Human Resources Officer, Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Limited, added, "At Mahindra Holidays, we believe true inclusion goes beyond intent. By building an ecosystem where women can thrive, grow, and lead across functions-including roles that have traditionally been maledominated like engineering, security, and kitchen stewarding-we are not only delivering a distinctive guest experience but also reshaping the future of hospitality. The all-women-led transformation at Club Mahindra Acacia Palms is a bold step forward in breaking stereotypes, unlocking potential, and inspiring industry-wide change.
