Operators, engineers & analysts — not just software vendors.
Every feature in Hotel Rank was shaped by people who have actually stood at a hotel front desk, shipped production software at scale, and translated raw booking data into revenue strategy. Meet the three minds behind the platform.
Robin Wilson
Co-Founder & Head of Hospitality Strategy
I've reconciled OTA discrepancies at 2am. I've watched revenue leave through commissions I couldn't control. Hotel Rank exists to fix every single one of those problems.
Robin spent 15 years inside the hotel industry — not advising from the outside, but managing it from within. He has held senior roles spanning Sales, Room Division Management, and full Hotel Operations across boutique properties and multi-key city hotels in India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
That operational depth is Hotel Rank's core differentiator. Robin designed every module workflow — check-in flows, rate strategy triggers, OTA optimization playbooks — around real front-desk constraints, not SaaS assumptions. Today he leads client onboarding, revenue strategy consulting, and partner relationships, personally guiding hoteliers through the platform.
Career Highlights
Raj Purkait
Co-Founder & CTO
"Hoteliers deserve software that just works. No integrations, no lag, no black boxes. That's the only standard I hold our stack to."
Raj is the engineering force behind Hotel Rank's unified platform. With 8 years of experience building production-grade applications and distributed systems, he architected the live pricing engine, the real-time channel sync, and the PMS — all from a single shared data layer that requires zero third-party middleware.
His obsession is making complex hospitality workflows feel effortless. Every UX decision — from the 60-second check-in flow to the one-click rate push — is Raj's work. He leads the product and engineering team that keeps Hotel Rank's 200+ OTA connections live and sub-60-second.
Avnish John
Co-Founder & Head of Data & Analytics
"The signals were always in the data. Hotels just needed someone to translate them into pricing decisions they could act on in under five minutes."
Avnish brings 12 years of data science and analytics expertise to Hotel Rank, with a deep focus on demand forecasting, competitive intelligence, and revenue modelling. He is the architect of AGENT SIGNALS — the engine that processes market demand, competitor rates, flight trends, and local event calendars every hour to surface rate recommendations that move RevPAR.
His work transforms raw hospitality data into actionable intelligence. The ROI forecasting dashboard, the sentiment analysis layer in reputation management, and the occupancy-based pricing automation rules are all built on Avnish's analytical frameworks.
We've been in your shoes
Robin has reconciled OTA discrepancies at 2am, managed housekeeping boards during a full-house, and lost revenue to commissions he couldn't control. Hotel Rank is built around those real experiences — not a product manager's assumption.
Software that actually works
Raj built the channel sync, the pricing engine, and the PMS from a single data layer — no middleware, no third-party integrations, no lag. When you push a rate, it's live in 200+ channels in under 60 seconds because the engineering was done right the first time.
Data that moves RevPAR
Avnish's AGENT SIGNALS reads your market every hour. It's not a generic algorithm — it's 12 years of hospitality analytics distilled into a recommendation you can review and push in five minutes. The average uplift in year one is +22% RevPAR.
