EHL Hospitality Business School, a leading institution for hospitality and leisure management (per QS World University Rankings), has appointed Ellerton & Co. as its agency of record for India.
The move expands the agency’s partnership with EHL across Southeast Asia since 2020 and signals the school’s deepening commitment to India as a strategic growth market.
India’s planning agency, NITI Aayog’s 2025 report indicates India’s service sector constitutes nearly 55% of Gross Value Added (GVA) in 2024-25, making it the primary driver of economic growth, employing roughly 30% of the workforce with approximately 40 million new jobs added over the past six years. Furthermore, India’s service sector is expected to grow to $6 trillion by 2035, contributing 60% to the country’s GDP
“India’s services sector is the engine of Viksit Bharat, and the union budget rightly recognises the need to align education with employment and enterprise,” said Kanav Mata, director and regional head – South Asia, Myanmar & Middle East, EHL Hospitality Business School.
Oliver Ellerton, founder and director of Ellerton & Co., added: “Having graduated from a leading Swiss hospitality school and begun my career at The Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur, I have seen first-hand how service excellence translates into business advantage far outside the hotel sector. EHL’s approach is unique – it builds a blend of empathy and precision that Indian companies need to thrive in an AI world. We have been proud to support EHL across Southeast Asia since 2020; extending this partnership into India feels both natural and timely."
