What Eraaya Lifespaces does

Eraaya Lifespaces Limited (rebranded as Ebix Limited in June 2026) is a publicly listed Indian holding company (BSE: 531035) headquartered at 54 Janpath, New Delhi, originally incorporated in 1967. Following a promoter takeover in April 2022 by Sukriti Garg and Just Right Life Limited, the shell was rebranded in March 2024 and pivoted into a diversified technology-led holding platform spanning four segments: Technology, Payments, Travel, and Emerging Businesses. Its core operations now combine the Eraaya Life luxury villa rental and hospitality business targeting high-net-worth travelers in India, the EbixCash World Money payments/remittance/FX retail network of 2,250+ locations across India, and the substantial legacy enterprise software and insurance technology franchise inherited via the August 2024 acquisition of a 97.58% stake in NASDAQ-listed Ebix Inc. for USD 138.577 million out of US insolvency. Combined, these assets give the group a presence in 13 countries across payments, enterprise software, and luxury hospitality.
