Delhi NCR’s MICE infrastructure is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with expanded capacities and world-class facilities. These convention destinations are rapidly redefining the region on the global events map. Leading this surge is ExpoInn Suites and Convention, Greater Noida’s boldly integrated hospitality and convention destination. Barun Gupta, Chief Operating Officer, Indeva Hotels and Resorts, is driving the hospitality division to set new benchmarks in experiential, convention-oriented hospitality.
India Exposition Mart Limited’s ExpoInn Suites and Convention is a hospitality venture developed and operated within its integrated exhibition ecosystem, while Indeva Hotels and Resorts functions as its hospitality arm. Leading the charge at Indeva is Barun Gupta, a leader whose over two-decade career across leading global hospitality brands has shaped a vision that is both ambitious and grounded.
In a country where the hospitality industry has long drawn a firm line between business and leisure, one destination is quietly and boldly erasing it. ExpoInn Suites and Convention, strategically positioned in Greater Noida’s rapidly expanding commercial and exhibition corridor, has emerged as India’s first integrated trade and leisure hospitality destination.
Bridging a Gap, Building an Ecosystem
When ExpoInn was first conceptualised, it set out to address a problem hiding in plain sight. “Traditionally, business hotels focused primarily on accommodation and meetings, while leisure hotels catered largely to recreation. ExpoInn was envisioned to bridge this divide by bringing both worlds together,” explains Gupta.
The result is a destination that serves corporate delegates, international exhibitors, wedding guests, and leisure travellers with equal emphasis on efficiency, comfort, and personalised hospitality.
Guests benefit from expansive convention and event spaces, premium accommodations, and four multi-dining food and beverage outlets, Café Amaris, Paprika Restaurant, Altus Bar, and Bean and Brew Co, offering diverse culinary experiences within one integrated environment.
Proximity to major business hubs, exhibition centres, and the upcoming Noida International Airport further cements its strategic advantage.
“More than just a hotel, ExpoInn represents a complete hospitality ecosystem, one that reflects the changing expectations of today’s traveller by combining functionality, luxury, experiential hospitality, and curated experiences within a single integrated environment,” Gupta affirms.
A Venue Built for Scale
What truly distinguishes ExpoInn from competing luxury business hotels in the region is its capability for scale and its proven track record of delivery, with event spaces ranging from 8,000 sq ft to 135,000 sq ft and catering capacity for up to 30,000 guests.
The property has hosted marquee events, including the Red Bull Jam India and a recent concert by singer Arijit Singh, demonstrating an expertise that extends well beyond conventional hotel operations.
Gupta says, “ExpoInn stands apart through its integrated hospitality approach, combining business, leisure, lifestyle, and large-scale experiential offerings all within one destination.”
Growing with Greater Noida
The hotel’s evolution has mirrored the remarkable transformation of Greater Noida itself as the region has risen into a major business, exhibition, and MICE destination, buoyed by international trade fairs, destination weddings, and large-scale entertainment. Indeva Hotels and Resorts has strategically strengthened its infrastructure to match.
“Today, we proudly operate one of the largest banqueting ecosystems in India,” Gupta notes. ExpoInn Suites and Convention, Plume Hotels, India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, and The Mor Stays collectively reinforce Indeva’s leadership across hospitality, MICE, weddings, and mega-event execution.
Experience-Led, Future-Ready
Gupta is equally clear-eyed about where luxury hospitality is heading. Personalisation, technology integration, wellness-focused stays, and experiential dining are no longer differentiators; they are baseline expectations. “Today’s travellers seek seamless convenience, premium dining, wellness-focused stays, and integrated hospitality experiences beyond traditional accommodation,” he observes.
Looking ahead, the roadmap for Indeva Hotels and Resorts is both ambitious and purposeful. The group aims to expand to 50 hotels across South Asia by 2030, with 11 hotels targeted by the end of this year alone, each thoughtfully designed to reflect local culture, contemporary aesthetics, and the warmth of Indian hospitality.
“Indeva Hotels and Resorts is not merely building hotels. It is shaping a new-age, homegrown hospitality ecosystem rooted in India, designed for modern travellers, and built for the future,” says Gupta.
For Barun Gupta, who is also the Vice President of the Indian Wedding Industry Association, former President, SITE India Chapter, and a three-time honouree among the world’s 100 most influential people in the Global Event Industry by Eventex, ExpoInn is more than a property. It is a statement of intent that India is ready to lead, not merely participate, in the global conversation on integrated,
experiential hospitality.
