Hilton has partnered with the Army Welfare Placement Organisation (AWPO) by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This collaboration aims to provide career opportunities for retired army personnel, ex-servicemen, and their families, acknowledging their invaluable service to the nation. AWPO, a non-profit organisation established by the Indian Army, operates 17 regional offices and 49 placement centres across India, actively assisting veterans and their families in securing additional employment.

Veterans, spouses, and dependants share core values such as leadership, integrity, and teamwork, making them a perfect match for Hilton. The company is dedicated to cultivating a premier workplace that nurtures pride, meaningful relationships, and a sense of inclusion. According to an official statement from the hotel chain, this partnership aims to assist veterans pursuing career opportunities within Hilton’s properties in South Asia that match their skills and ambitions.

Sabu Raghavan, Vice President-Human Resources, South Asia, Hilton, said, “Our army veterans bring leadership, discipline, and resilience – qualities that enrich any workplace. They have led teams in the toughest conditions, solved problems with limited resources, and carried the weight of responsibility on their shoulders. These are not just skills; they are the foundation of strong, capable individuals who can thrive in any industry. This association is a result of shared values and purpose. The hospitality industry thrives on camaraderie, teamwork, ownership and commitment and these values make our army personnel and their families a great addition to our growing workforce in South Asia.”

Major General Ajay Singh Chauhan, Managing Director, AWPO, said, “This MOU reaffirms the immense value of their contributions beyond their years in uniform. It is encouraging to see an initiative that not only honours their dedication but also provides them with purposeful career opportunities. Hilton’s commitment to veteran hiring sets a strong precedent, and I hope more organisations recognise the unparalleled skills and discipline our veterans bring to the workforce. This partnership ensures that their leadership, integrity, and commitment continue to shape and strengthen the service sector.”

Hilton will provide tailored training and upskilling programs to ease the transition of army personnel into the civilian workforce. By equipping veterans with the necessary skills and support, Hilton aims to ensure their long-term career success.
