Singapore always brings together some of the sharpest conversations in hospitality — and the HSMAI Asia Pacific - Singapore Chapter sessions were a great reminder of how quickly our industry is evolving. What’s refreshing is not just meeting industry colleagues, partners, and customers again — but seeing the level of agility, openness, and belief in AI shaping hospitality conversations today. At RateGain , we’ve always believed that putting forward practical solutions matters far more than just scratching at problems. As hospitality continues to evolve, our focus remains simple — helping the industry move faster, simplify commercial decisions, and unlock more meaningful revenue opportunities. A big thank you to all our industry friends, colleagues, partners, and customers who joined us for conversations, ideas, and a toast together in Singapore. So much ahead for all of us to build, collaborate on, and achieve together. Anurag Jain Sudhir Ghildiyal, CRME Camille Venturina Varun Khanna

When your client says, “Please wear our brand colour at the conference in Greece”… …and you take that instruction very seriously. 😅 Carried an extra 10kg of luggage just to turn up in a full-blown Indian outfit matching the brand palette perfectly. Commitment level: excessive. Worth it: absolutely. 😂 🫣 Borana Siljanovski Let's Drive Mobility RateGain revAI

The calendar last week at RateGain was all about cricket, and the RateGain Premier League (RGPL). 🏏 Ever since I’ve been at RG, this is one event I’ve always looked forward to. And keeping up with tradition, RGPL was fantastic this year. What stood out most wasn’t just the cricket, but the spirit in which it was played. Rohan Mittal Yogeesh Chandra Mayank Rastogi and I had the opportunity to watch the finals together, two great contests, played with intensity and in the right spirit. Year after year, RGPL brings people together. It builds camaraderie across teams and strengthens relationships well beyond the day-to-day. A big thank you to the Sports Committee and to CA Jatin Chugh Sridhar Vedula for putting together such a seamless experience. Adding to the excitement, AirGain: Pricing Intelligence for Airlines had the privilege of sponsoring the winning teams in both the women’s and men’s tournaments this year, a proud moment for all of us. Here’s to great cricket, great spirit, and an even bigger RGPL next year.

Pricing in car rental is getting more complex — faster demand shifts, shorter booking windows, and far less room for reactive decisions. We’re seeing operators rethink their approach, moving from reactive pricing to strategies grounded in real demand signals. At RateGain, this shift is powered by Rev-AI — helping teams connect demand insights with pricing actions faster, and with greater confidence. At #ICRS2026 this May, I’ll be joined by Sanchit and Dirk to discuss how real-time demand data is enabling better pricing and revenue outcomes for car rental operators.

In hospitality, the difference between good and exceptional is rarely dramatic. It’s almost always… subtle. Over time, I’ve realized that what truly defines this industry isn’t scale or strategy—it’s the relentless consistency of getting the basics right. A few reflections that continue to shape how I think about leadership here: 1️⃣ Excellence doesn’t need visibility The finest experiences don’t demand attention. They quietly earn trust. 2️⃣ Standards are set in moments, not mandates You can’t “announce” a culture of excellence. It shows up in what teams choose to do—especially when no one is watching. 3️⃣ Technology is only as powerful as the experience it unlocks As we build and scale with AI at RateGain , the focus is simple: use technology to remove friction… so humans can create moments that matter. In an industry obsessed with growth and innovation, sometimes the real edge is just this - never compromising on the details that guests may never see, but always remember. #Hospitality #Hotels #Travel #Tech #GuestExperience
