INDIAN HOSPITALITY NETWORK

What INDIAN HOSPITALITY NETWORK does

Indian Hospitality Network (IHN) is a privately held, founder-led curated membership platform founded in 2019 in New Delhi, India, targeting elite professionals and brands across the hospitality, travel, tourism, events, and allied sectors. The platform combines a digital membership backbone with concierge-led onboarding (via WhatsApp and email) and a recurring event calendar, monetized through subscription memberships and transaction/event participation fees around its flagship IHN KONNECT trade show and a Network Multiplier Events series held across 15+ Indian cities including Delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, and Madurai.

The product surface is built around three pillars: the IHN Membership Platform and its #DreamConnects strategic matchmaking feature, the IHN KONNECT flagship show for B2B buyer-seller interactions, and the Network Multipliers city-level event series. Technology is positioned as a digital membership platform with concierge services rather than a software product; there is no public API, mobile app, SDK, or disclosed AI capability, and the website handles inquiries through personalized WhatsApp and email contact rather than self-serve transactional flows. The company operates a multi-channel social presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube's IHN TV channel, email, WhatsApp).

IHN's business model rests on recurring membership subscriptions supplemented by event participation revenue (exhibitor fees, hosted buyer programs, meeting facilitation). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears to be handled via personalized concierge contact. The company has 9 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity on record. Founder Abhishek Garg brings 25+ years of events industry experience and a separate wedding platform with 15,000+ vendors as background capital, and the company maintains a Board of Advisors to guide strategic direction.
