Building better opportunities in procurement
The forum has grown to more than 6000 members drawn from over 3800 organisations across India, the Middle East, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and beyond. Its work is organised around a few durable themes.
Training & development
Structured learning for procurement professionals so buying teams grow beyond transactional purchasing into commercial strategy.
Product standardisation
Common specifications across properties make quality comparable, bids fairer and substitutions safer.
Volume advantage
Collective demand from member organisations unlocks better pricing, terms and service commitments from suppliers.
Professionalism in purchasing
Shared norms and peer review raise the standard of how requirements are floated, evaluated and awarded.
Green initiatives
Encouraging sustainable sourcing choices and responsible consumption across hospitality supply chains.
Social responsibility
Corporate social responsibility programmes carried by the member community across regions.
Interact with professionals
Members meet peers from top star hotels, catering companies, large restaurant chains and leading airlines, and exchange practical experience on specifications, vendor performance and negotiation. Conventions and awards bring the community together each year — the 14th edition was hosted at Ayodhya Dham and Lucknow with more than 250 purchase managers expected.
Part of something bigger
A collective approach to buying carries more weight than any single property. HospX.Ai is built on the same conviction: pooled demand, comparable specifications and structured evaluation produce better outcomes than one-off negotiation. HPMF supports this platform as an industry partner.
