Marriott’s Bengaluru Marriott Hotel Whitefield has named Sooraj Thomas Rajan as its new Senior Marketing & Communications Manager, the hotel said. Rajan brings extensive marketing experience in hospitality, digital media, and brand storytelling.
In his previous role, “he served as the Multi-Property Marketing & Communications Manager for Courtyard by Marriott in Madurai and Trichy, with the latter being a pre-opening project.” That assignment saw him spearhead campaign development, media engagement, and influencer collaborations tailored to distinct property launches.
At Hyatt Centric Hebbal Bengaluru, he led pre-opening marketing, developing targeted communication strategies and digital campaigns that positioned the new property effectively in a competitive cityscape.
Sooraj brings valuable hospitality marketing experience and a deep understanding of brand communications. His strategic approach and creative perspective will be instrumental in driving the hotel’s positioning in a dynamic and evolving market, especially as we introduce our expanded inventory of 520 rooms—one of the largest under a single brand in South India. – Vivek Sharma, General Manager of Bengaluru Marriott Hotel Whitefield
Rajan holds a degree in visual communication from Madras Christian College, where he honed his storytelling and branding skills. In his new role he will oversee the property’s marketing and communications efforts, aiming to elevate its profile, drive engagement, and reinforce its large-scale presence within South India’s luxury hospitality space.
With his proven background—especially in pre-opening strategy—Rajan is expected to bring both consistent branding and innovation as the hotel deepens its impact in a competitive market.
