StayVista currently operates more than 1,000 properties across over 85 locations in India. The platform offers accommodation in three categories – mass premium, premium, and luxury. In addition to stays, it provides food and beverage services, event planning, and concierge options.

The company uses technology to manage property listings and bookings, while offering support for property owners through tools for operations and optimisation. Most properties on the platform are second homes owned by individuals. The company follows standard operating procedures to maintain consistency in property quality and amenities.

India’s domestic travel sector has been growing, supported by higher disposable incomes and flexible work models. The country’s vacation rental market is estimated at $22.3 billion and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9% to reach $34.1 billion by 2029. The holiday home rental segment, currently valued at $2.1 billion, is among the fastest growing, with a CAGR of 13.5%.

Commenting on the fundraise, Pranav Maheshwari, Co-Founder at StayVista said, “Over the past few years, we have quietly but consistently built a strong foundation for long-term growth. Along the way, we have achieved several meaningful milestones — turning profitable, scaling to over 1,000 luxury homes, and hosting more than a million guests. Each of these achievements is a reflection of the trust our homeowners and guests place in us. As we look ahead, we are excited to build on this momentum and shape StayVista into not just India’s largest villa hospitality brand, but also the largest platform for alternative accommodations in India.”

Sachin Tagra, Managing Partner at JSW Ventures, said, “We are seeing a clear shift in preference of travellers from hotels to alternate sources of accommodation. With technology, standardization, and a strong customer-first philosophy, StayVista, being the largest player in this space, has a front row seat to capitalize on this trend. The founders have built a highly capital efficient business and we are excited to partner with StayVista as they continue to scale with multiple offerings.”
