Zuper Stays debuts in India

India: Mumbai-based hotel sales, marketing and management solutions company, Zuper Hotel Solutions, has partnered with hospitality business service Suved Lohia Hospitality to launch luxury vacation rental management platform Zuper Stays. 

The platform will debut with an inventory of 12 premium properties, ranging from farm stays to exclusive estates and villas. Zuper Stays has raised an undisclosed amount in pre-seed funding and will add a further 50 properties to its portfolio within the six months before pursuing domestic expansion.

Akaal Manchanda, founder and director of Zuper Stays, said: “We are entering this segment due to public demand. Our guest network wants to experience our flexible, personalised, and exclusive hospitality in a vacation rental format.

“While there are vacation rental properties available, our research showed that the need for a proper luxury experience remains mostly unmet. Since we have been working in the luxury vacation space for the past five years, we are better placed to understand and cater to the preferences of long-stay luxury holiday seekers.

“Hence, we felt that with Zuper Stays, we could create an authentic luxury vacation and hassle-free rental experience for people. The pre-seed funding is the first step towards achieving this goal,” he added.

Suved Lohia of Suved Lohia Hospitality said: “We are always on the lookout for businesses in the hospitality segment that are led by passionate and skilled entrepreneurs. The hospitality industry is about not just doing your job but going beyond it.

“It is about offering adventures that fill one’s soul. In Zuper Stays, we found an incredibly talented and capable team with a robust business plan that meets these requirements,” he added.
