“Professionalism at its best is what I define VMSIIHE.” Right from its culture, to its work ethics & study environment. Be it curricular or co- curricular, their activities are quiet versatile. International standards infrastructure, which didn’t make me feel far away from home coming from a rich country like Kuwait. With no hospitality background, was definitely a new challenge I was looking forward to. The institute is set to be built on such high standards. We learnt every day to carry out ourselves like true business professionals in the industry and out in the world, and that’s what the college demanded from us. Good habits, discipline and hard work were instilled in us from the very beginning and this definitely goes a long way! You know you are being well trained and molded all thanks to the mentor and faculties present there. Prof. Irfan Mirza, Director/Principal of the institute undoubtedly a perfectionist, who I have very high regards for, only strives for us to do our best. The rest of the Salgaocar family, also follows his footsteps in guidance and imparting knowledge. Their friendly persona helped us through the difficult days. Chef Sebastian, Chef Sujatha, Ms. Gauri had a special spark. My gratitude and appreciation all goes towards the teaching and non-teaching faculty for their endless support during my time with the college. And for this, I cannot thank you all enough.
