At Sterling Holiday Resorts, we know that exceptional guest experiences begin with empowered people. This core philosophy recently earned us dual honours at the 22nd Edition Future of L&D Summit & Awards 2026, organised by UBS Forums in Mumbai.
For the third consecutive year, Sterling stood on this prestigious national stage, proudly taking home “Best Learning Culture in an Organisation” and “Best Digital Learning Initiative.” These accolades validate our strategic investment in future-ready talent. Through our Emerging Leaders Development Programme, we have successfully mentored 12 Heads of Department into full-fledged Resort Managers, ensuring robust succession planning across our premium properties.
Simultaneously, we are expanding accessible learning. Sterling University, our proprietary digital platform, has enabled 475 team members to complete over 18,000 hours of rigorous, SOP-based training. This scalable approach guarantees service consistency across our network of 70+ resorts nationwide.
Building a continuous learning culture is an ongoing institutional effort. These awards reinforce our commitment to capability development and digital transformation, as the primary drivers of business excellence.
