Independent Hospitality Consulting & Asset Management
We work exclusively for hotel owners and investors — driving revenue, protecting margins, recruiting talent, and managing assets with the discipline of a global operator.
Built for Hotel Owners
Most hotel advisors serve operators, brands, or both. The Edhas is built differently — every engagement is structured around a single question: what is best for the owner? We bring institutional discipline to your property, translate complex operations into clear financial outcomes, and ensure your asset performs to its full potential.

Why The Edhas
"We have sat in the GM chair, across the table from global brands, and inside the numbers of properties at every performance level. We know where value is hidden — and where it is being lost."
What Sets Us Apart
Our Method
How We Work
Client Perspectives
For the first time, we had someone reading the P&L from our side of the table. The procurement audit surfaced savings we had never imagined possible. The Edhas brought clarity where there was only confusion before.
The contract negotiation support was game-changing. They understood exactly where our leverage was and how to use it. We secured terms we would never have achieved without them — and our GOP improved materially within the first quarter.
About the Founder
Sharad Kumar Upadhyaya founded The Edhas Hotels after more than 25 years leading full-service and upscale hotel properties across India, China, Nepal, and Thailand. His career spans the full spectrum of hotel operations — from pre-opening and turnaround to sustained top-quartile performance — always in highly competitive, brand-driven environments.
Having held senior general management roles within globally recognised hotel brands, he brings a rare depth of operational credibility combined with the commercial fluency of a P&L owner. His expertise covers revenue strategy, cost restructuring, talent development, procurement, and the forensic financial analysis that distinguishes great GMs from exceptional ones.
Sharad built The Edhas on a single conviction: hotel owners deserve an advisor who has truly stood in the operator's shoes — and chooses to stand in the owner's corner.
