As hotels and hospitality businesses across India and Asia-Pacific increasingly embrace cloud-based, AI-powered technology, the quality of customer success, from onboarding through to ongoing support, has become as important as the technology itself. STAAH, an Access company, already serves more than 30,000 properties across 90 countries, and The Access Group is committed to ensuring every one of those customers has the expertise and partnership needed to get the most from their technology investment, including Access Evo, the company’s AI-powered platform that empowers businesses to focus on what truly matters, from answering the biggest strategic questions to completing everyday tasks, bringing this vision to life for hospitality businesses through capabilities including channel management, booking engine, revenue management, and reputation management.
India’s growing technology talent ecosystem makes it a strategic base for building the high-performing customer success teams needed to serve a diverse and expanding customer base across the region. This appointment reflects The Access Group’s commitment to investing in the right people to deliver outstanding outcomes for its customers across the region.

As our customer base continues to grow across the region, having a leader of Saurabh’s calibre leading Customer Success gives customers confidence that we are genuinely invested in their long-term success. What he achieved at Salesforce and BrowserStack is extraordinary, but what excites me most is his belief that customer success is a growth engine, not just a support function. That mindset is exactly what our customers deserve and what will set The Access Group apart in this region.” Louise Daley, Head of Hospitality APAC, The Access Group
