We don’t sell trips.
We pick hotels.

Samyati is a hotel-specialist company — a small team in Pune that knows India’s branded hotel inventory the way a sommelier knows a cellar. You tell us where you’re going. We tell you where to stay.

Chapter One

How this started

India has more than 1,900 branded hotels and not one of them is right for everyone. Yet most travellers end up choosing on price alone — because that’s what booking apps optimise for.

Samyati was started by people who’d spent years inside the Indian travel industry and watched the same pattern repeat: a couple looking for a quiet anniversary ends up at a noisy banquet hotel because the listing photo looked nice. A corporate team booking a Mumbai stay pays 22% more than the rate the hotel would have given them direct.

None of this is the traveller’s fault. The information they need simply isn’t in the listings. It’s in the heads of people who know the properties.

We are the people who know the properties.

That’s the company. We don’t bundle flights. We don’t sell packages. We don’t take listing fees. We pick the right hotel for your specific trip and we book it at the right rate — on WhatsApp, by a real person, with a clean GST invoice.

The first job of a hotel specialist is to know the room, not the rate.

How we actually work

i.

One person, start to finish

Whoever picks up your first WhatsApp is the same person who confirms your booking and answers your call from the hotel lobby at 11 PM. No tickets, no escalations, no “please share details again.”

A Pune family staying at JW Marriott Mumbai called us at midnight when their connecting room wasn’t ready. Same person who booked them, picked up. Sorted in 12 minutes.

ii.

Net rates, no theatrics

We work on contracted rates with the hotels — not on inflated rack rates with fake discounts. The price you see is the price you pay. Tax breakup, cancellation terms, inclusions — all on the table before you confirm.

We will sometimes tell you the OTA is cheaper for a specific date. Then we’ll help you book through the OTA. That’s the long game.

iii.

Hotel knowledge, not algorithms

Our shortlist for you isn’t generated — it’s remembered. We know which Mahabaleshwar resorts have working pools in monsoon, which Delhi 5-stars have soundproofing on the airport side, which Lonavala properties don’t actually let kids in the spa.

Last week, three different couples asked for “quiet hill resort, end of May.” They got three different recommendations. That’s the job.

From the founder’s desk

Sooraj Bagdia, founder of Samyati
Sooraj BagdiaFounder & Director

Hello —

I started Samyati because I got tired of watching people pay more and get less — just because they didn’t know who to call.

I have spent years inside the Indian travel industry. The pattern never changed: individuals and businesses overpaying for hotels — not because better options didn’t exist, but because nobody was guiding them honestly. OTAs are built to maximise revenue per click. Travel agents are built to push packages with the highest commission. Neither is built to pick the right hotel.

Samyati is built for that one job. Deep knowledge of India’s hotel market. Direct rate relationships. WhatsApp service from a real person who treats your booking as personal responsibility. Nothing else.

If you’ve been overpaying, or getting bundled into things you didn’t want, or just don’t know which property is right — that’s exactly what we’re here for. Send us a message. We’ll take it from there.

Where we are

Pune, India
Made in Pune Maharashtra

We are based in Baner, Pune — and we will probably stay that way.

Pune is where we live, where we eat, where we travel from, and where we’ve built our deepest hotel relationships. We started here on purpose. We’re a Pune company that books hotels across India — not a generic platform pretending to be local everywhere.

Inspirito Ventures Pvt Ltd is the registered company. We’re GST-registered in Maharashtra. We file properly, we invoice properly, and our registered office is at DP Laxminarayan Mill Compound, Jalna — with the working head office in Baner.

If you’re local and want to meet, we’ll happily make tea. But the actual work happens on WhatsApp — that’s where we’re fastest and most useful.

Tell us where

Where are you going next?

One message, with your dates and a budget. We’ll send back two or three properties we’d genuinely recommend — and book the one you choose. That’s the whole thing.
