Ms. Varsha Mukherjee -

Varsha belongs to Jhansi, a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh. “Jhansi grew in popularity during the reign of the Marathas because of the heroics of its valiant queen, Rani Lakshmi Bai”. She graduated from the Uttar Pradesh University and completed her masters in tourism from the state of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh.

She believes that to be successful in the area of tourism, one need’s to enjoy working with people and be able to think on their feet. Travelling helps in learning about the host of well known, even the not so well known travel destinations. This is what, she says, helps her in designing the tour, including the right destinations reflecting culture, religion, charming cities and adventure.

She is a methodical tour planner and is extremely helpful to her guests. The only other thing that she loves as much as writing is travelling. She brings with her six years of experience in tour planning and is currently involved in R&D of new markets for the company.

In her own words, “The greatest reward is the repeat and referral business developed from client relationships. This is my motive and I look forward to it. I really feel as if I've made the right career choice. My travel clients become my friends and some of them treat me like family.''Varsha strongly believes that success relies on professionalism, integrity and discipline. She always makes an effort in explaining everything to everybody. She played a major role in the setting up of our UK satellite office, just like always. Compass would not have been what it is today without her.

Ms. Anchal Suman - Anchal has always been in love with "travel" visiting different places with her parents from a very young age. She completed her graduation just because everyone wants to have a degree in India but immediately after graduation she did her MBA in TOURISM. How much she loves travel is apparent from the fact that she TOPPED her batch and was picked up by MAKE MY TRIP from the campus. She quickly got bored of handling domestic airline travel and customer service since she was capable of much more. She learnt what she could there and was not really looking for a change when COMPASS found her. Our dreams matched so it was not very difficult getting her on board. According to Anchal, different places, people and their culture always fascinated her - that makes her the second person in Compass after Durjay a culture digger. Anchal says - "Being a part of Compass gives me a sense of pride and satisfaction at the same time as this is what I always wished to do".



Ms. Anupama -

She has done her Science Graduation with majors in Zoology, Biology and Chemistry from University of Lucknow. Not satisfied with a degree she went ahead and completed her MBA in TOURISM from the same university. Yes, why a MBA in tourism after pure science!!! Reason enough for her to be in COMPASS. She is the brightest person in the office - always the first to come in and she makes everybody laugh when the going gets tough. Howcever, she is the best planner when it comes to travel for the team members since she is in charge of new destinations and the budget for all our yearly travel. In her own words - "I love to explore a destination rather than visiting it" - she is clinical in tour planning and good with finance. We are sure the "science background" helps her always. Before joining "COMPASS INDIA" she was working with Taj Group of Hotels and the best part is in "operations" which is why she understands our guests so well. She joined Compass India with a belief that she will get a platform to fulfill whatever dreams she had related to her passion and profession.



Ms. Sukriti Kapoor -

She belongs to the Holy City Varanasi. (She insisted we write this) Sukriti left a very promising career in hotel industry to join COMPASS. She is a hotel management degree holder from the best institute in India and had everything going for her at the TAJ HOTELS. As a senior manager handling Front Office and training she was billed as the next "future manager" of TAJ. She spent three great years with them but wanted to see more of INDIA and the world. It was a day of great pleasure when she expressed her interest in joining COMPASS as she being with the best in the hotel industry wanted to be with the best in the travel industry. (In her words again) The "operations" department is always on "tenterhooks" since Sukriti is known as one of the strictest managers in the hotel industry and knows the inside-out of all reservation departments and reports. Her experience in training has helped us a lot and her dedication to work always means hassle-free travel for COMPASS guests.

The ‘zesty’ Surbhi is a native of UP and the most recent addition to the Compass family.

She’s done her graduation from Chandigarh, her major being psychology and Master’s in Business Administration with a specialization in Marketing. Her educational background is as diverse as our country but just the right mix for the travel trade. She believes it was destiny and her love for travelling that brought her to Compass, well, that and her skills and dynamism. She says, “What interests me is getting to know different people & places, two things that attract me the most are colours & culture.” And where else, other than the travel industry, can such an individual feel at home? Right here at Compass.
