key markets. This expansion represents our strong commitment and confidence in
the Southwest Asia region,” said Sunjae Sharma, managing director, India &
Southwest Asia, Hyatt. “Complementing our current portfolio of Hyatt brands in
the country, the introduction of the JdV by Hyatt lifestyle brand in India

leisure and business segments. We are excited for our guests travelling to Goa
to embrace this lifestyle experience. Ronil Goa aligns seamlessly with the
brand that encourages living in the moment, making it a perfect addition. We
look forward to further enhancing our distinctive brand footprint throughout
