The Problem

India's Vacation Rental Market is Fragmented & Underserved

For Property Owners

  • Complex multi-channel management across Airbnb, Booking.com, MMT
  • Manual operations leading to errors and double bookings
  • Existing PMS built for hotels, not vacation rentals
  • Average occupancy only 35-45% due to poor distribution

For Travelers

  • Discovery problem - authentic properties hard to find
  • Information asymmetry - photos don't match reality
  • Booking friction across multiple platforms
  • 91% of Airbnb India guests are domestic but lack local alternatives
