With this infusion of funds, V Resorts is all set to make a paradigm shift in the landscape of the leisure travel sector in India.Commenting on the development, Aditi Balbir, Founder and CEO of V Resorts said, “Our competitors are aggregators who solve the problem of discovery – ‘Where to go’. The travel space is flooded with such aggregators but no player is currently targeting the problem of on-ground experience. We at V Resorts solve the problem of customer experience – from manpower to vendors, procurement, booking, feedback etc – covering the entire gamut of hospitality services. The funds will be utilized to further invest in these consumer and operator interfaces. We are also looking at doubling our inventory by the end of this year and are geared towards a three-fold growth in the company.”

“Initiatives are in place to increase our footprints in over 1000 locations in India in the next two years. Keeping in mind our goal of going where Indians go, international expansion is on the cards as well. South East Asia is amongst the favorite overseas destinations with Indians, so it’s a prudent decision to focus our initial expansion efforts there,” added Aditi Balbir.

Commenting on the investment from RB International, “In this challenging ecosystem, V Resorts has a differentiated business model that allows for high profitability with occupancy increase. And given the high capital efficiency, the model can be scaled quickly”, said Mr. HarshavardhanBothra, RB Investments Pte Ltd.

Executive Director Shailesh Vikram Singh, Seedfund which has invested in V Resorts in the initial phase as well said, “This is indeed exciting times for the travel leisure segment. Our strategy will be to build travel choices even to the most inaccessible places and create profitable businesses with the involvement of the local community.”
