The 6% yield secret: Why some platforms are betting big on leisure corridors

Revenue-sharing structures vary across companies. Homeowners in some cases have the option of appointing their own caretaking staff, trained by the platform. Or they can opt for a fully managed model. For instance, StayVista and SaffronStays allow homeowners to appoint their own staff, while Lohono, Elivaas and Staymaster recruit their own in-villa staff. “We take care of everything. If there’s a leakage or a light bulb has to be changed, we do it, not the owner,” said Lohono co-founder Dhimaan Shah. Lohono’s parent entity’s revenue stood at ₹542 crore in FY25, according to Tracxn data. However, the company declined to share Lohono’s contribution.
