Swosti Group

What Swosti Group does

Swosti Group is a privately held Odisha-based hospitality company operating the largest chain of hotels and resorts in the Indian state of Odisha, founded out of the legacy of Swosti Travels with operational roots traced to the early 1990s. The Group runs five wholly owned properties spanning roughly 474 keys: two business hotels in Bhubaneswar (Swosti Premium, a 5-star deluxe property with 147 rooms and 8 conference halls, and Swosti Grand, a 4-star hotel near the airport), Swosti Premium Beach Resorts in Puri (125 beachfront rooms), Swosti Chilika Resort (78 rooms and cottages, IGBC Platinum-certified eco-resort on Chilika Lake), and Gopalpur Palm Resort on Gopalpur-on-Sea (upgrading to a 124-room 5-star property). Ancillary revenue is generated across MICE and banqueting (largest hall accommodates 1,000 guests), F&B (six-plus dining outlets including Brown N Cream patisserie), weddings and destination events, the proprietary Ekayaa Spa brand, and integrated tour packages such as the 5N/6D Golden Triangle Tour of Odisha.

The Group's go-to-market is a hybrid B2C/B2B2C model combining direct booking channels (swostihotels.com, toll-free central reservations, walk-ins) with full GDS distribution (Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, Worldspan, Dhisco) for global travel trade and corporate bookers. Customer segments are diversified across business travelers, leisure tourists, wedding hosts, pilgrims to Jagannath Temple, and inbound international visitors. Pricing is per-room and per-package, with examples including INR 24,999+tax Monsoon Escape packages and INR 42,999+tax Golden Triangle tours, plus F&B unit pricing such as INR 999 buffet offers. The Group operates with 1,001-5,000 employees, has received TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice 2024 and a 5-Star Deluxe classification from India's Ministry of Tourism, and continues an active capital program with the Puri opening in 2024 and Gopalpur expansion slated for 2026.
