Peak Bengaluru moment: Virtual receptionist at hotel sparks funny banter on social media
In a recent amusing incident highlighting Bengaluru’s tech-savvy culture, Ananya Narang, CEO of Entourage, shared her experience of checking into a hotel where she was welcomed by a virtual receptionist displayed on a screen. This unusual setup featured only two security guards on-site, with all operations managed remotely by trained hospitality staff.
Narang’s post on LinkedIn drew mixed reactions, with some praising the innovative approach and others critiquing the lack of personal touch in the virtual interaction. This incident has added to the ongoing conversations about the unique blend of technology and hospitality in Bengaluru, often referred to as a “Peak Bengaluru” moment.
