INDIA: Housr, a rapidly growing luxury managed living brand, is expanding into the short-stay segment to meet the rising demand for flexible accommodations among corporate travelers. The expansion follows a significant growth witnessed by Housr over the past 18 months with 90% + occupancy rates across its existing 70+ properties spread across top-tier cities. The company is creating and dedicating bespoke rooms within its properties for corporate short stays, enhancing the overall experience for professionals on the move, especially during the peak year-end travel period and beyond.

A recent report suggests that India’s over USD 10.6 billion corporate travel sector is estimated to grow at a 10.1 percent CAGR to USD 20.8 billion by FY30, driven by tech-enabled, personalized, and sustainable solutions.

The brand believes this new offering will redefine the corporate stay experience by offering customized solutions for working professionals. Talking about the motivation behind the expansion, Deepak Anand, Founder & CEO, of Housr said, “Since its inception, Housr has witnessed exceptional demand for short-term stays, signaling a gap in the market that we are now set to fill. Approximately 30-40 % of our current residents expressed a desire for a capsule format of Housr tailored to facilitate their corporate travel seamlessly. This resident feedback has been a significant motivator behind our new initiative. Inspired by positive industry trends and real consumer demand in the growing corporate travel market, we decided to foray into the short-stay segment.”

“With Housr, we have a reputation of bringing premium offerings at value pricing, and we shall continue to build on that premise with Housr Short Stays as well. We have active business collaborations and are already in talks with multiple corporates for partnerships to streamline our offerings further”, he added.

Housr’s rapid growth trajectory will continue into Quarter 1 of 2025 with the launch of 10 new properties, adding to the existing 70+ properties. For the short stay format where a traveler can book one or multiple nights with Housr, the company is capitalizing on its existing presence in five cities: Gurugram, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune, and Vizag with the target audience mainly being business and corporate travelers, within the age group of 25 to 40 years. This strategic decision will not only establish the brand in the short-term stay market but will further solidify its position as a leader in the managed living segment.

To cater to the demands of this segment, Housr will retain its standard services, which include professional housekeeping, laundry on demand, breakfast and dinner buffets, high-speed WiFi, and 3-tier security. In addition, personal care shower essentials and grooming essentials will be provided as a part of the offerings for the corporate traveler.

The series launch of “On My Own in Singapore” was held on 24^th March 2023 at Home, Delhi by PVR, Ambience Mall Vasant Kunj in Delhi and was graced by the presence of the lead actor Vidushi Kaul, who shared anecdotes from her experience filming in Singapore and her own personal discoveries on the glittering city-state. 

Taking on a short and crisp format, “On My Own in Singapore” is a light, amusing and heartwarming story that takes a peek into the pensive mind of Marzia, a 29-year-old who undertakes her solo bachelorette trip in Singapore. Spoofed by her friends into making the solo trip, she discovers many surprises in Singapore on her own that reconnect with her inner self. 

Vidushi Kaul, who has appeared previously in shows such as TVF Pitchers and Made in Heaven, plays the role of Marzia. The show is directed by Shreeya Tiwari, who has been associated with other critically-acclaimed projects such as Josef in Exile and Anarchy of Existence.

Speaking about the newly-launched web series, Mr. G.B Srithar, Regional Director for India, Middle East, South Asia & Africa, Singapore Tourism Board (STB) said, “Singapore has traditionally been best known as a prime travel destination for Indian families and groups. Increasingly, we are also observing more and more female travelers empowered to travel to seek out their adventures and self-discoveries in Singapore, to experience who they are, and to fulfill their passions.

Singapore’s range of experiential offerings to young millennials perfectly caters to these solo female travelers. With Singapore’s exceptional track record for women’s safety*, such travelers often share that they are uniquely able to travel freely on their own terms, be inspired by the diminutive city-state’s boundary-breaking spirit, and ultimately find true purpose in their journey.”

Anirudh Gupta, Founder & CEO, Tripoto, “At Tripoto, our endeavor has been to curate custom-made travel plans for people based on their passions. When it comes to women traveling solo, they typically opt for destinations that offer a blend of relaxation, adventure, shopping, and party.  This entertainment format of the web series is our innovative way of reaching out to this segment of female travelers, and Singapore serves as the perfect setting to tell the story of empowerment in everyday heroines like Marzia”. As millennials constantly seek out unique, reimagined offerings in their next travel destinations, Singapore allows visitors to delve right into its dynamic food, events, leisure, shopping, adventure, and nightlife offerings. Research shows that Singapore’s cruise and nightlife destinations are highly preferred1 among middle-aged and younger travelers, which also include solo woman nomads wishing to make bold and exciting memories for themselves.
