#First Opinion
“After recently winning the brand of the year award, I believe ELIVAAS is well poised to continue its growth journey and pursue its ambitious plans for the financial year 2026-27. We intend to focus on three key areas. We intend to go deep into India, especially the south and west, and add to our portfolio, which is now growing very healthily there. For the first time in our three years of existence, we intend to launch our international foray. So, we will announce our entry into one international market very soon this year. And lastly, we are also looking to expand our presence in the corporate stay segment, targeting companies and destinations like Bangalore and Gurgaon.”
