The corporate team-building market is expected to grow in the next decade due to economic expansion and job creation. The proximity of major business hubs such as Gurgaon and Noida, coupled with improved connectivity through the Meerut expressway has been key for resorts in western Uttar Pradesh in this segment. However, with enhanced connectivity and economic environment throughout the country, it is anticipated that corporate travel for team building programs and conferences will rise immensely.

Nevertheless, people are often confronted with issues such as identifying unique activities that can engage participants’ interests, coordinating logistics, but still striking a balance between work and leisure for participants’ satisfaction. Baghaan Orchard Retreat provides an ideal getaway from bustling city life; nestled amidst tranquil landscapes of western Uttar Pradesh. With verdant mango orchard, spacious rooms and multitude of team building activities, it presents an unmatched experience where nature meets luxury during company trips.

Since its inception in 2010, Baghaan Orchard Retreat has grown signi-ficantly from a small property with only fifteen rooms to forty nine rooms receiving thousands of corporate visitors each year. Besides having hosted four to five corporate groups each month on

average like IKEA, HUL, and Adobe, this retreat has been acknowledged by renowned clients including Maruti Suzuki India, ICICI Bank, Pfizer, and more. “Such clientele speaks volumes about the resort's reputation and capability in delivering exceptional corporate team-building experiences”, says Anirudh Singh, Director.

It also has the largest pool deck in the vicinity with two pools for relaxation and entertainment.

In contrast with other hotels, Baghaan Orchard Retreat’s goal is to create an authentic rejuvenating experience that matches its natural surroundings hence making it worth a stay for corporate guests who need a peaceful yet inspiring getaway.

The future roadmap of Baghaan Orchard Retreat is geared towards improving its offerings to cater for the changing requirements of corporate clients.
