Black Rock Hotels & Resorts Strengthens Recruitment and Employee Development With New Corporate HR Head Appointment

Black Rock Hotels & Resorts has strengthened its corporate leadership team with the appointment of Kumar Gaurav Singh as Corporate HR Head. Based at the hospitality management group’s corporate office in Jaipur, he will lead the company’s human resources strategy as Black Rock continues to expand its hotel portfolio and workforce.

With more than 19 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Singh brings extensive expertise across human resources operations, talent acquisition and management, employee engagement, learning and development, performance management, regulatory compliance and employee relations. His professional background spans semi-government organisations, multinational companies and established hospitality groups, including TGB, ITC Hotels and Marriott International.

In his new position, Singh will oversee Black Rock Hotels & Resorts’ broader HR function while working closely with both corporate leadership and individual property teams. His responsibilities will include strengthening recruitment processes, developing talent, improving performance management frameworks, enhancing employee engagement and advancing HR systems across the organisation.

A major priority in Kumar Gaurav Singh’s new role will be establishing consistent and scalable people practices across Black Rock Hotels & Resorts. This will involve creating a stronger HR framework that can support different properties while maintaining common standards across the growing hospitality portfolio.

As the group expands, the HR function will also have an important role in strengthening its workforce. Greater emphasis will be placed on attracting suitable talent, developing existing employees and creating clearer opportunities for professional growth across corporate and hotel-level operations.

Employee engagement and performance management will form another key part of this approach. By strengthening communication, training and performance processes, the group aims to build a more connected workforce while helping individual properties respond effectively to changing operational requirements.

The broader objective will be to develop an HR structure capable of supporting Black Rock Hotels & Resorts as its portfolio and workforce increase. More unified systems and people practices are expected to improve coordination between corporate and property teams while creating a more cohesive organisational framework for the group’s next phase of growth.

Commenting on the appointment, Anshul Bhargava, Founder, Black Rock Hotels & Resorts, said, “As our portfolio grows, building strong teams and systems across our hotels becomes increasingly important. Kumar Gaurav Singh’s experience with established hospitality organisations and his understanding of hotel operations will help us strengthen our people practices while creating opportunities for employees to grow with the organisation.”

Kumar Gaurav Singh, Corporate HR Head, Black Rock Hotels & Resorts, said, “Hospitality is fundamentally a people-led business. My focus will be on strengthening the systems, talent and culture that can support Black Rock’s growth while creating an environment centred on development, accountability and engagement.” The appointment forms part of Black Rock Hotels & Resorts’ ongoing effort to strengthen its corporate leadership and build scalable systems for its next phase of growth.
