Social intelligence is not only reflected in one’s professional life but also in everyday situations which are rather complex and not simply stated. The study was based on hospitality undergraduate students and hospitality professionals. There were 100 respondents taken, 50 of them were the hospitality professionals from various hotels across Bangalore and rest 50 of them were the hospitality undergraduate students from the final years of Christ university. The study aimed to compare the social intelligence amongst two groups and it was concluded with the various tests that there was no significant difference of social intelligence amongst the two groups.  The discussion in the project gave light to social abilities and characteristics which are important to be possessed by leaders and upcoming professionals. This study will also help to predict if the physical environment affects the social intelligence
