Their parent company, Brigade Enterprises Limited (BEL), ventured into the hospitality sector in 2004 by launching their first hotel, Grand Mercure Bangalore, which began operations in 2009.
The firm boasts a collection of nine active hotels located in Bengaluru (Karnataka), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), Kochi (Kerala), Mysuru (Karnataka), and the GIFT City (Gujarat), totaling 1,604 keys.
The firm consists of the following Group Companies: BCV Developers Private Limited; Brigade Flexible Office Spaces Private Limited; Brigade (Gujarat) Projects Private Limited; Brigade Hospitality Services Limited; Brigade Properties Private Limited; Mysore Holdings Private Limited; Perungudi Real Estates Private Limited; SRP Gears Private Limited; Subramanian Engineering Limited; and WTC Trades & Projects Private Limited.
The board of the company consists of seven members, including one Managing Director, two Non-Executive and Non-Independent Directors, and four Independent Directors. As of the date of this red herring prospectus, the company has two women serving as Directors on its Board.
As of 31 March 2025, India boasts 204,000 hotel rooms affiliated with chains, spread across various segments. The market for independent hotels remains highly fragmented, primarily consisting of midscale or lower-tier establishments.
Over the years, the composition of supply has changed, resulting in a more diverse and balanced distribution across segments, with the Luxury-Upper Upscale categories accounting for 33.9% of the supply share, 38.4% for the Upscale - Upper Midscale categories, and 27.7% for the Midscale-Economy segments as of 31 March 2025.
The geographic distribution of hotels is also expanding. The share of supply in key markets (Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Goa, and Jaipur) has decreased from 69% in Fiscal 2015 to 57% in fiscal 2025, and it is projected to drop to 49% by fiscal 2030; 66% of the expected supply between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2030 is anticipated to emerge outside these key markets.
The company's profit fell by 24%, totaling ₹ 23.7 crore in FY25, down from ₹ 31.14 crore the year before. At the same time, revenue for this period increased by 16.6%, growing to ₹ 468.3 crore from ₹ 401.7 crore.
Some of the key risks are as follows; The company has entered into agreements for hotel operator services and related contracts with Marriott, Accor, and InterContinental Hotels Group to obtain operating and marketing support for their hotels. In Fiscal 2025, two hotels managed by Marriott accounted for 43.81% of their operating revenue. If these agreements are canceled or not renewed, it could negatively impact their business, operational results, financial health, and cash flows. The company employs a significant number of staff across its hotels, which may lead to exposure to service-related claims and losses or employee disruptions that could harm their reputation, business, operational results, financial health, and cash flows. The employee turnover rate in Fiscal 2025 was 58.19%.
A 90-day lock-in period will apply to 50% of the equity shares allocated to the anchor investors starting from the date of allotment, while a 30-day lock-in will pertain to the other 50% of the equity shares allotted to the anchor investors from the same date of allotment.
