India’s Largest Villa Rental Platform Aims to Strengthen Operations, Expand Footprint, and Enhance Guest Experience
Chandigarh, June 26, 2025: StayVista, India’s leading luxury and premium villa rental platform, has successfully raised over INR 40 crore in its Series B funding round, led by JSW Ventures. The round also saw continued support from existing investors DSG Consumer Partners and Capri Global Family Office, reinforcing confidence in StayVista’s vision and execution.
The infusion of capital marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey, providing momentum for its next phase of growth. StayVista intends to utilize the fresh funds to scale operations into new domestic and international markets, enhance its technology infrastructure, strengthen its on-ground operations team, and further refine its guest and homeowner experience.
India’s Largest and Most Trusted Villa Rental Platform
Founded with a mission to redefine vacation stays in India, StayVista has emerged as the go-to platform for travelers seeking private, personalized, and premium villa stays. With over 1,000 operational properties across 85+ destinations in India, the company caters to a broad demographic across the mass premium, premium, and luxury segments. It has served over 1 million guests to date, consistently earning an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 from over 30,000 reviews.
StayVista’s properties range from tranquil hill retreats and scenic beachside villas to heritage homes and countryside estates. Each home listed on the platform undergoes a rigorous quality check, ensuring it meets the company’s strict standard operating procedures (SOPs) in terms of amenities, maintenance, and guest experience.
Enhancing the Guest Journey
Beyond offering accommodation, StayVista delivers a holistic hospitality experience. The company provides customizable services such as:
-
Curated food and beverage options
-
Personalized concierge assistance
-
Event planning for occasions like birthdays, weddings, and corporate getaways
These value-added offerings are designed to ensure that every StayVista booking translates into a memorable stay.
To support homeowners, StayVista has built a suite of technology-driven tools for property management, enabling hosts to streamline bookings, maintain service standards, and maximize rental income. The platform thus creates a win-win model — empowering homeowners to monetize their second homes while delivering consistent, high-quality experiences to guests.
Riding the Wave of India’s Booming Vacation Rental Market
The timing of this investment is aligned with broader trends shaping India’s travel industry. With increasing disposable incomes, remote work adoption, and a growing desire for exclusive travel experiences, demand for short-term villa rentals has surged.
According to industry reports, India’s overall vacation rental market is valued at $22.3 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9%, reaching $34.1 billion by 2029. Within this, the holiday home rental segment—where StayVista operates—is growing even faster, with a 13.5% CAGR, and is currently valued at $2.1 billion.
StayVista’s strong brand presence, high customer loyalty, and operational excellence place it in a prime position to capitalize on this fast-growing segment.
Leadership Commentary
Pranav Maheshwari, Co-Founder at StayVista, reflected on the company’s progress and future plans:
“Over the past few years, we have quietly but consistently built a strong foundation for long-term growth. Along the way, we’ve achieved several meaningful milestones — turning profitable, scaling to over 1,000 luxury homes, and hosting more than a million guests. These achievements reflect the deep trust our homeowners and guests place in us.”
He added, “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 country’s leading platform for alternative accommodations.”
Sachin Tagra, Managing Partner at JSW Ventures, also expressed confidence in the company’s growth trajectory:
“We are seeing a clear shift in traveller preferences — from traditional hotels to more personalized, alternative accommodations. StayVista, with its focus on technology, standardization, and customer-first approach, is well-positioned to lead this transformation. The founders have built a highly capital-efficient business, and we’re excited to partner with them as they scale their offerings across new markets.”
A Promising Path Ahead
With the newly secured funding and a strong leadership team, StayVista is poised to further solidify its position in India’s hospitality ecosystem. As the demand for experiential and alternative stays continues to rise, the company aims to expand its footprint, elevate service standards, and emerge as the preferred travel brand for discerning customers seeking more than just a place to stay.
