StayVista, one of India’s largest luxury villa rental platforms, has raised INR 40 crore in its latest funding round. The investment was led by JSW Ventures, with continued backing from DSG Consumer Partners, which has supported the company since 2016.
Founded in 2015, the Mumbai-based company offers access to a curated network of more than 1,000 fully serviced villas across over 50 Indian leisure destinations, including Lonavala, Goa, Alibaug, and Coorg. StayVista claims to have hosted over one million guests so far, with rising demand from both family groups and corporate travellers seeking private accommodation options.
The newly secured capital will be used to expand StayVista’s national footprint, invest in technology, and strengthen its team. A key focus will be enhancing customer experience and supporting villa owners with property management tools and demand forecasting.
“The idea behind StayVista has always been to make group getaways more meaningful. With this funding, we are doubling down on our vision of building trust in the alternative accommodation space,” said Tushar Agrawal, Co-founder of StayVista.
The fresh investment comes at a time when India’s travel landscape is shifting towards more private and experiential stays, with consumers increasingly preferring villas over traditional hotels. Post-pandemic travel trends have only accelerated this transition, with platforms like StayVista benefiting from the appetite for secluded, premium accommodation options.
Kartik Prabhakara, Partner at JSW Ventures, said, “StayVista’s tech-driven approach and strong brand presence in the luxury villa segment give it a clear edge. We are excited to support them as they build a category-defining brand.”
DSG Consumer Partners, which has previously backed brands like OYO and Veeba, reaffirmed its commitment to StayVista’s long-term growth in the Indian leisure travel market.
StayVista’s move reflects a broader trend of capital flowing into premium, experience-driven travel services in India, with investors betting on sustained demand beyond metros and traditional holiday hubs.
