India is witnessing a surge in travel, with more consumers taking up to three trips annually. This has propelled the holiday home rental market to $2.1 billion, making it the fastest-growing segment in the travel industry. Increasingly, travelers are opting for villas and homestays over traditional hotels—driven by a desire for privacy, personalized experiences, and longer stays. Nearly 50% of Indian travelers now prefer these alternative accommodations over hotels. At JSW Ventures, we are committed to investing in fundamentally strong, capital-efficient, and tech-enabled consumer companies that embed personalization at the core of their offering. In line with this investment thesis, we are excited to announce our investment in StayVista, India’s largest villa rental platform. Below is a quick read on why we invested in StayVista.
