Stayvista, a Mumbai-based player that’s quietly become the go-to name in India’s luxury villa rental space, has just pulled in ₹40 crore in fresh funding. The round was led by JSW Ventures, with continued backing from DSG Consumer Partners and the Capri Global Family Office.
With over 1,000 premium properties now live across 85 destinations, and more than a million guests hosted so far, Stayvista is eyeing its next chapter — one that includes expanding its footprint, building out its team, and refining how guests experience its getaways.

Sachin Tagra, Managing Partner at JSW Ventures, believes the company is riding a wave of changing travel preferences. “People are increasingly looking beyond cookie-cutter hotels. Stayvista taps into that shift — and they’re doing it in a way that’s both scalable and smart with capital,” he said.
Founded by Pranav Maheshwari, Stayvista has already reached profitability — a rare feat in India’s startup ecosystem — and now has its sights set on becoming the largest name in the luxury villa category. “Our mission is simple: to make Stayvista the first name Indians think of when planning a special, high-quality getaway,” Maheshwari shared.
What makes Stayvista’s model stand out is its approach — the platform partners with individual homeowners, turning beautiful but often-unused second homes into full-fledged holiday stays. It’s a model that benefits both sides: homeowners get to earn from their property, while guests enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience that’s hard to find in standard hotels.
