About the company
StayVista is India’s largest tech-enabled vacation rental platform, offering a wide range of premium & luxury villas and holiday homes across 100+ locations nationwide. Operating under three distinct categories—Veo (mass-premium), StayVista (premium), and Vieda (luxury)—the company provides curated stays, tailored to evolving traveller preferences. This wide portfolio of villas are divided into regional clusters, each comprising 25–30 properties, StayVista ensures localized management and standardized services. Backed by a surge in domestic travel and a shift from hotels to homestays, the platform caters primarily to middle and upper-middle-class travellers seeking privacy, personalization, and extended stays. By partnering directly with homeowners, StayVista delivers standardized, high-quality homestay experiences that are redefining India’s hospitality landscape.
Why we invested
Stay Vista is India’s leading premium vacation rental platform, offering over 1,000+ properties and holiday homes across the country. StayVista has built a customer-first organization with robust SOPs and stringent quality checks, resulting in a 4.7 average guest rating across 29,000+ reviews. The platform enables property owners to generate healthy rental yields while ensuring comprehensive property management—making second-home ownership more rewarding and sustainable.
India’s domestic tourism is undergoing a structural shift, fuelled by rising disposable incomes, flexible work arrangements, and a growing preference for short, frequent getaways. Consumers are increasingly prioritizing privacy and personalization—preferences that StayVista is uniquely positioned to serve.
The Indian vacation rental market, valued at $22.3 billion, is expected to reach $34.1 billion by 2029. Within this, the holiday home segment is expanding the fastest, at a 13.5% CAGR. As demand accelerates, StayVista’s focus on standardization, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction positions’ it to lead the transformation of this category.
The founding team—Pranav Maheshwari, Amit Damani, and Ankita Sheth—brings deep operational expertise and a strong understanding of the hospitality and real estate ecosystems. The company is EBITDA-positive and has built a capital-efficient model, underpinned by a proprietary tech stack serving both travellers and homeowners.
