India’s premium travel and hospitality segment is evolving rapidly, and StayVista has emerged as a key player in this space. The Mumbai-based luxury villa rental platform has turned profitable in FY25, backed by strong revenue growth and tighter cost control.
Strong Revenue Growth
StayVista reported a 29% year-on-year increase in operating revenue, reaching ₹181 crore in FY25 compared to ₹140 crore in the previous fiscal. Including other income, total revenue stood at approximately ₹183 crore.
The growth has been driven by rising demand for luxury villa stays and curated travel experiences. With more travellers opting for private, group-friendly accommodations, StayVista has benefitted from higher bookings and improved occupancy across its premium property portfolio.
Cost Efficiency Boosts Performance
A key factor behind StayVista’s profitability is its disciplined cost management. The company’s total expenses rose by 18% to ₹179 crore, growing at a slower pace than its revenue.
Material costs remained the largest expense, while employee and operational costs were kept under control. This helped improve unit economics, with the company spending ₹0.99 to earn every rupee in FY25, compared to ₹1.09 in FY24.
Profit Turnaround
StayVista reported a net profit of ₹3.6 crore in FY25, marking a significant turnaround from a loss of ₹8 crore in the previous year. While margins remain modest, the shift to profitability highlights the company’s improving financial discipline and business sustainability.
Outlook Ahead
The company’s performance reflects a broader trend in India’s travel market, where demand for private and premium stays is on the rise. StayVista’s focus on high-end villas and personalised experiences positions it well for future growth.
However, maintaining profitability at scale will require continued cost optimisation and expansion of its property network. As the luxury travel segment gains momentum, StayVista appears well-placed to strengthen its position in the competitive hospitality market.
