New Delhi, July 29, 2026: The LaLiT Suri Hospitality Group announced the launch of ‘Hospitality With A Heart’, a defining brand philosophy that brings together the values that have shaped the Group’s journey for over three decades. More than a campaign, Hospitality With A Heart reaffirms The LaLiT’s enduring commitment to authentic Indian hospitality, inclusion, sustainability and meaningful guest experiences.

Inspired by the founding vision of the founder chairman, Lalit Suri and carried forward by Dr. Jyotsna Suri, Chairperson & Managing Director, The LaLiT Suri Hospitality Group, the philosophy reflects the belief that hospitality is not merely about exceptional service, but about making every guest feel genuinely welcomed, valued and cared for.

Built around three enduring pillars—Homegrown, Inclusive and Sustainable—Hospitality With A Heart celebrates India’s rich cultural heritage while embracing diversity and responsible business practices.

As a proudly Indian hospitality brand, The LaLiT has always drawn inspiration from the destinations it calls home. From architecture and cuisine to local art, culture and craftsmanship, every hotel offers guests an immersive experience that reflects the unique identity of its region while upholding the timeless Indian tradition of Atithi Devo Bhava.

The philosophy also reinforces The LaLiT’s long-standing leadership in inclusive hospitality. Through its inclusive employment initiatives and in collaboration with the Keshav Suri Foundation, the Group has created opportunities for over 2,000 members of the LGBTQIA+ community through

skilling, employment and empowerment programmes. The organisation has also championed equal opportunities for persons with disabilities, acid attack survivors, neurodivergent individuals and people from other underrepresented communities, fostering workplaces where everyone belongs.

Sustainability remains another cornerstone of the philosophy, encompassing not just the environment but also people, communities, and long-term responsible growth. At The LaLiT, it is about creating a sustainable balance where business success goes hand in hand with the well-being of employees, local communities, and the planet. From planting over 20 lakh trees across India and operating six net-zero carbon footprint properties to promoting zero-waste kitchens, supporting local artisans and farmers through locally sourced produce, and embedding responsible practices across its operations, The LaLiT continues to make sustainability an integral part of how it operates and grows.

Announcing the launch, Dr. Jyotsna Suri, Chairperson & Managing Director, The LaLiT Suri Hospitality Group, said:

“Hospitality With A Heart reflects who we are at The LaLiT. We have always believed that true luxury is about making people feel welcome, respected and valued. As a proudly Indian hospitality group, our commitment to inclusion, sustainability and genuine care has shaped our journey and continues to guide us every day. Hospitality With A Heart brings this philosophy to life and reaffirms our promise to our guests, our people and the communities we serve.”

With this launch, The LaLiT Suri Hospitality Group reinforces its position as one of India’s leading hospitality brands—where luxury is enriched by purpose, every destination tells a local story, and every guest is welcomed with warmth, dignity and heart.

Saltstayz, the Gurugram based hospitality company, has crossed ₹99.7 crore in top-line revenue during FY 2025–26, making it one of India’s most remarkable growth stories in the organised hospitality sector while being profitable since inception, achieved entirely without venture capital or external equity. The company is now setting its sights on ₹500 crore in annual revenue by FY30 through organic growth, backed by a sharp expansion blueprint of 150 hotels across 30 cities, totalling approximately 5,000–5,500 keys.

Founded in 2022 by Gaurav Gupta, Sandeep Goyal and Nishant Tripathi, Saltstayz has built a portfolio of 33 operational hotels with approximately 1,214 keys across seven cities, all within the mid-premium to premium segment – under its three distinct brands: Autograph, Premier and Select. The company currently employs around 670 people and relies on an asset-light model of Long-term lease, revenue-sharing arrangements, and management contracts to fuel its rapid scaling.

“We are a fully bootstrapped company to date, and so far, we have not diluted any equity in the company. We are profitable since our first year of incorporation and the expansion so far has happened organically. At our current growth rate, we are aiming to achieve annual revenue of ₹500 crore by FY30. We are also looking to raise our first round of structured capital, to fuel our growth plans. With the right capital infusion, we aim to achieve annual revenue of ₹1,500 crore by FY30 with 10,000+ keys across 250 hotels in our portfolio.” said Gaurav Gupta, Co-founder, Saltstayz. 

The growth trajectory from a standing start in 2022 to nearly ₹100 crore in revenue within four fiscal years is widely seen as unprecedented for a bootstrapped player in Indian hospitality. The sector has historically been dominated by well-capitalised chains or asset-heavy legacy players; Saltstayz’s lean, contract-driven model offers a sharp counterpoint.

Saltstayz’s current footprint is concentrated in North India across seven cities. The next phase of growth will pivot sharply toward the south and the west. The company is targeting a total of 55 hotels by the end of FY 2026–27, adding 22 properties during the current financial year. For the next leg, Saltstayz plans to deploy around ₹18 – 20 crore across new cities, a fraction of what traditional hotel ownership would require.

To achieve the ₹500 crore revenue target by FY30 organically, Saltstayz will need to scale its workforce from the current 670 employees to approximately 2,000–2,200, a signal of the operational depth the expansion will demand. The company is in active conversations around its first formal fundraise, prioritizing structured debt but keeping equity options open.

The company recently marked its entry into the leisure travel segment with the launch of its premium ‘Autograph’ brand in Rishikesh – one of India’s most sought-after wellness and spiritual destinations. With 38 keys, the property launch in Rishikesh marks the implementation of Saltstayz’s broader strategy of expanding into high-potential leisure destinations while offering thoughtfully designed stays at competitive pricing. The hospitality company is planning to expand into other parts of the country through its Autograph portfolio. Designed for modern travellers seeking more than just accommodation, Autograph hotels are set to play a central role in Saltstayz’s expansion strategy in the near future.

OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group announces the opening of OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort in Thailand, welcoming its first guests and joining OUTRIGGER’s Thailand portfolio alongside properties in Koh Samui, Khao Lak, and Phuket. Set within the protected boundaries of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, the resort offers 63 suites and villas on a stretch of coastline where limestone cliffs rise from jade-green water, coconut palms line a white-sand beach, and the Andaman Sea sets the rhythm of each day.

“What we’ve created at Phi Phi Island is truly special — a resort that matches one of Thailand’s most breathtaking settings and honors the culture and environment that make it extraordinary. This opening is a reflection of OUTRIGGER’s long-term commitment to Thailand, and for those who make the journey here, I believe it will be unlike anything they’ve experienced before,” said Jeff Wagoner, President & CEO of OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group.

Accessible only by boat, the resort sits inside a national park where development is tightly controlled, and the natural environment remains largely untouched. Guests arrive by sea, stepping onto the sand as the Andaman horizon opens before them.

The resort’s suites and villas are guided by “Nit Thra,” a Thai concept centered on the soul of rest. Handcrafted furnishings, organic textiles, and woven motifs drawn from the island’s craft traditions give each space its character, alongside contemporary amenities. Three accommodation types lead the offering: the Hilltop Ocean View Pool Villa, with a private infinity pool and sea views; the Beachfront Pool Villa, positioned directly on the sand; and the Family Garden Villa, wrapped in tropical gardens.

At the resort’s Mala Kitchen, resident chefs work within the philosophy of “Samrub Thai” – a Southern Thai culinary approach built on the balance of taste, texture, and tradition. The menu draws on the region’s spices, fresh produce, and coastal ingredients, prepared and presented by chefs with deep roots in the local food culture. The Edgewater Bar & Grill serves fresh local seafood, aromatic curries, and tropical cocktails at the edge of the Andaman Sea – with an open view of the water that makes it the natural setting for sundowners & long evenings.

The national park that surrounds the resort is one of the most biodiverse marine environments in Southeast Asia. PADI-certified diving excursions reach coral formations where sea turtles, manta rays, and reef sharks are regular sightings. Eco-sensitive boat rides access islands and coves that see limited visitor traffic. Long-tail boat picnics travel the mangrove channels at a pace that suits the landscape. Back on land, private Thai cooking classes, non-motorized water sports, and bead-making sessions, drawn from the island’s ancient craft traditions, round out the offering. Relaxation journeys at Zeavola Spa are grounded in Southern Thai wellness practices and local botanicals. The Coral Kids Club and a teen zone ensure the resort works equally well for families. For guests who wish to explore further, Tonsai Village – Phi Phi’s lively hub of restaurants, bars, and local shops – is a short boat ride away.

The indigenous Urak Lawoi people have inhabited these islands for centuries, and their heritage informed the resort’s design as well as its welcome rituals. Each arriving guest receives a handcrafted bead bracelet, a gesture rooted in Urak Lawoi tradition and a reflection of the community’s place at the heart of the resort’s identity. Guests wishing to learn more can join bead-making sessions that trace the craft’s origins along the island’s historic trade routes.

The resort was constructed using local, organic materials and designed to work with its environment – maximizing natural light and ventilation, minimizing waste and protecting the ecosystem it sits within. Operating inside a national park is both a privilege and a responsibility; the standards applied here reflect that. The aim is straightforward: guests leave nothing behind except footprints in the sand.

Presently, SaltStayz has its presence in key business travel markets including New Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad and Chandigarh-Mohali. SaltStayz Autograph Rishikesh has been positioned towards guests looking at a high-quality stay combined with experiences and a deeper connection with the destination.

Strategically located in the heart of Rishikesh, the property enjoys proximity to key landmarks such as Triveni Ghat and Parmarth Niketan Ashram, providing access to key spiritual and cultural landmarks in the destination. The hotel’s location also allows for easy access to major touch-points including Ram Jhula & Lakshman Jhula while still offering a sense of calm and retreat.

SaltStayz Autograph Rishikesh has also been positioned with a focus on wellness-led experiences. Given its proximity to key spiritual and leisure points in Rishikesh, the property provides access to activities such as yoga sessions, guided spiritual walks and self-exploratory bicycle tours to enable guests to discover the surrounding areas. Dedicated spaces for meditation have been incorporated as part of the overall design. The property also includes an all-day dining restaurant, featuring the first of its kind – pure vegetarian Moti Mahal restaurant.

Gaurav Gupta, Co-Founder, SaltStayz said, “Rishikesh is witnessing a clear shift towards wellness-led travel with guests increasingly seeking more immersive and experience-driven stays. While SaltStayz has traditionally operated within the business travel segment, we have been observing consistent demand from our existing customer base for similar offerings in leisure destinations. The launch of our Autograph category in Rishikesh is a direct response to this shift, reflecting both evolving consumer preferences and our broader expansion strategy.”

With 38 keys, the property launch in Rishikesh marks the implementation of SaltStayz’s broader strategy of expanding into high-potential leisure destinations while offering thoughtfully designed stays at competitive pricing.

“In the post-pandemic period, demand for leisure and spiritual travel has increased significantly. Wellness has also emerged as a key factor influencing leisure travellers when choosing a destination,” added Gupta.

Alongside its Autograph brand, SaltStayz’s portfolio also includes the Select and Premier categories. The hospitality company is planning to expand into other parts of the country through its Autograph portfolio. Designed for modern travellers seeking more than just accommodation, Autograph hotels are set to play a central role in SaltStayz’s expansion strategy in the near future.
