COMPANY PROFILE

Founder and Managing Director, Capt. Amarjeet Singh Vidyarthi first started recruiting Indian cooks and chefs for the international cruise industry in the early 1980s when Indian staff onboard cruise ships were a rarity. He set up INDUS in 1996 as India’s first specialist cruiseline recruitment agency. In 1998, realizing the limitations of the pool of eligible candidates at the time, he then set up India’s first specialized cruiseline training institute, primarily for chefs, but which today trains a range of young people for the kitchens, restaurants, guest cabins, spas and salons onboard the cruise ships. Headquartered in Mumbai and with branch in Goa, Indus offers excellent regional coverage to facilitate both the recruitment and processing of candidates in cities closer to their homes and workplaces.
