'Covid made holiday homes mainstream'

The company’s co-founder Devendra Parulekar said that there is a significant untapped market in India, with around 10,000 luxury holiday homes requiring effective inventory management solutions.

SaffronStays said it has seen a surge in demand for its top-tier properties, consistently maintaining 35-40% occupancy rates, or 120-150 days every year.

While it has so far focussed on Maharashtra, the company is planning to establish a stronger presence in Goa in the second half of this year.

“Anything above 40% occupancy is not healthy because it is then considered over utilization of an asset. We are comfortable with 30-40% since it is a home at the end of the day, and should not be fully commercialized," he added.
