Sanskriti se Samriddhi: Where Tradition Meets Innovation at the 24th Chandiwala Hospitality Ensemble- 2025.

Chandiwala hospitality ensemble, the mega event of bcihmct, has grown over the past 25 years into a national platform that celebrates culinary brilliance and hospitality talent. Supported by leading hotels, hospitality organizations, and academic institutions across the country, CHE has become a hallmark of creativity, skill, and innovation in the world of hospitality education. The Banarsidas Chandiwala Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology, New Delhi, proudly announces the 24th edition of the Chandiwala Hospitality Ensemble (CHE), to be held from October 15 to 17, 2025.

This year, the Ensemble is centered around the inspiring theme “Sanskriti se Samriddhi” which underlines the idea that true prosperity lies in embracing and celebrating India’s cultural and traditional roots. The theme highlights how the wealth of our nation—both in spirit and in industry—emerges from its cultural heritage, regional traditions, and culinary diversity. This event  amalgamates the various qualities of Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat, making it a true testimony to this vision that will eventually make our nation great once again. Through this celebration, the Ensemble urges young hoteliers to connect deeply with India’s rich legacy and translate it into sustainable, innovative practices that will define the hospitality industry of tomorrow.

Over three days, students from across India will engage in competitions that bring alive the colors and flavors of the nation. One of the event, Millet Culinary Challenge 2025 focuses on reviving millet innovation with traditional recipes while reimagining them for modern palates. BCIHMCT strongly promotes the use of millets as a step towards healthier lifestyles, sustainable food systems, and the revival of India’s ancient heritage. The Regional Indian Cuisine Challenge and Regional Indian Drinks Challenge will restore long celebrated recipes and beverages from diverse states, while contests like Biryani competition, Zone Barwizard Challenge, Future Chef Contest, Taj Hospitality Brain Twister 2025, will showcase the creative innovation of the next generation of hoteliers. Adding to the vibrancy will be artistic showcases such as Chandiwala Floral Decoration and Towel Origami, reaffirming the deep connection between Indian culture and the aesthetics of hospitality.

Institutes and colleges from across the country are invited to take part in this prestigious event, with each institution allowed to nominate up to seven participants accompanied by a faculty member. With registrations capped at thirty institutes, early participation is highly encouraged. The 24th Chandiwala Hospitality Ensemble 2025 promises to be a celebration of culture, cuisine, and creativity—where Sanskriti truly leads to Samriddhi. Join us at BCIHMCT, New Delhi, to witness hospitality’s future leaders rise with innovation, rooted in tradition.
