The company will utilize the fund to expand its footprint across the country and fortify itself into an enduring hospitality brand synonymous with luxury villa getaways.

"We have doubled our revenues during the pandemic due to high repeat and referrals from our more than 3 lakh guests. We will use the capital for growth, building our team, strengthening our brand and developing our tech infrastructure," said Ankita Sheth, co-founder, StayVista.

StayVista continues to maintain its pole position as the country's best-rated luxury villa rental brand while managing and marketing a portfolio of more than 500 handpicked villas across over 50 spectacular destinations with a collective worth of over INR 1500 crore, claimed by the company in a statement.
