MAVERICK MADAN
"That day, I was so happy. It has been my good
fortune, that I could lap up the "Best Employee Award" in the first
year of the hotel operations itself. It has been a cash award, the venue being
the Hotel Cafeteria" remembers Madan
Lal Tak (46) who happens to be one of the first few employees who joined The Leela Palace, Udaipur.
Presently deputed as Bell boy, God loving Madan is known
for his multi tasking skills. Luggage Assistance, Golf Cart Driving, handling
the guest requests at the Bell Desk to playing the role of a Doorman.... Madan,
a silent worker executes flawlessly.
"Ever since the Leela group bought the land in 1998,
I have been serving here. But, the Leela Palace has been thrown open only in
2009", says 12th passed, Udaipur born Madan, who also had completed one
year ITI course.
"I have been earning my daily bread, as an Auto
driver in Udaipur. One Premachandran,
from Kerala has been my regular customer; through him I got job as an Office Assistant
in a Mumbai based construction company which had its projects in the same land
which had been purchased by Leela Group later".
Madan had been instrumental in receiving every material
that has been entering the Leela compound during the per-opening period; as the
hotel got opened, he was part of the Stores and the Receiving Department. Later,
he was summoned to the Bell Desk.
Married to Rajkumari, Madan is blessed with two daughters
and one son.
