This week on Teague Talks, the deep dive into family-built hospitality continues with a focus on the next wave of leadership at Auro Hotels. After Part 1 with industry visionary HP Rama, Teague sits down with HP’s nephew, DJ Rama, President & CEO, and great nephew, Keval Rama, Senior Associate—leaders carrying Auro forward while staying true to the company’s founding values.

DJ shares Auro’s humble beginnings, the weight of stepping into a generational role, and how he’s shaping a culture where every associate feels like part of the family. Keval offers a third-generation perspective, reflecting on a childhood immersed in hospitality and the purpose that drives him today, including his commitment to improving the communities Auro serves.

Together, they discuss the delicate balance between honoring tradition and driving innovation, and what it really takes to lead a modern family business across multiple generations.
