Accor elevates Arish Mehta to steer Ibis revenue strategy in India

MUMBAI: Accor has appointed Arish Mehta as portfolio director of revenue management for Ibis, Ibis styles and Ibis budget in India, effective December 2025, sharpening its commercial focus across the fast-growing economy and midscale segments.

Mehta, a 13-year Accor veteran, will lead revenue strategy across the ibis brand portfolio, overseeing pricing, distribution and performance across rooms, food and beverage, and Mice businesses. The move underlines Accor’s push to deepen commercial rigour and accelerate portfolio-wide growth in the Indian market.

Most recently, Mehta served as director of revenue management at Accor, where he led total revenue strategy for a flagship Mumbai property. Under his stewardship, the hotel delivered room revenue growth of 29 per cent year-on-year and overall revenue of Rs 26.6 crore, crossing the Rs 100 crore mark in just its second year of operations. He also drove gains in occupancy, average daily rate and revenue generation index in a fiercely competitive market.

Earlier, as cluster revenue manager, Mehta managed multiple Ibis hotels across major Indian cities, improving RevPAR and RGI through data-led pricing, inventory control and demand forecasting, while building revenue capability across teams.

In his new role, Mehta will focus on strengthening commercial performance, driving consistency across markets and embedding data-driven decision-making across the Ibis portfolio, as Accor looks to scale both performance and profitability in India.
