Ventive Hospitality Gets SEBI Nod for Rs 2,000 Crore IPO Approval

Ventive Hospitality, the luxury hospitality arm of the Panchshil Group and backed by Blackstone, has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its ₹2,000 crore initial public offering (IPO). The IPO will consist of fresh equity shares, each with a face value of ₹1, and aims to raise significant funds to support the company’s expansion and further strengthen its luxury hospitality portfolio.

Ventive Hospitality specializes in the acquisition, development, and management of high-end hospitality assets. Its portfolio boasts 11 prestigious properties, including hotels operated under global brands like Marriott, Hilton, Minor, and Atmosphere. Notable assets in Ventive’s portfolio include JW Marriott Pune, The Ritz-Carlton Pune, Conrad Maldives, Anantara Maldives, and Raaya by Atmosphere Maldives. Since its inception as the hospitality division of Panchshil Realty in 2007, Ventive has seen considerable growth. The company was transformed after Blackstone’s BRE Asia acquired a 50% stake in 2017, positioning the private equity firm as a co-majority stakeholder. Over the years, Ventive’s portfolio has expanded to include luxury, upper upscale, and upscale properties, with a particular focus on corporate and leisure markets.

As of March 31, 2024, Ventive operates a total of 2,036 keys across India and the Maldives, a substantial increase from just 83 keys when the company first began operations. This growth is attributed to strategic acquisitions and developments, expanding its reach into key cities like Bengaluru, Varanasi, and popular tourist destinations in the Maldives. The company’s performance has been robust, with luxury assets contributing over 80% of its revenue in recent fiscal years. Ventive’s pro forma revenue and EBITDA have consistently ranked among the top in India’s hospitality sector, demonstrating the strong operational efficiency of its assets. Looking ahead, Ventive plans to expand its portfolio further, aiming to increase its key count by 18% to 2,403 keys by 2024. This growth will be driven by new developments in Varanasi, Bengaluru, and international expansion in Sri Lanka, where the company plans projects near Yala East National Park and Arugam Bay Beach. The company has appointed prominent Book Running Lead Managers including JM Financial, Axis Capital, HSBC, ICICI Securities, IIFL Securities, Kotak Mahindra Capital, and SBI Capital Markets for the IPO process. The funds raised from this offering are expected to fuel further expansion and strengthen Ventive’s position in the luxury hospitality sector.
