This partnership aims to drive digital transformation within India’s hospitality sector by optimising online bookings and streamlining operations through STAAH’s solutions.
The signing ceremony took place at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai in the presence of New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.
The event was also accompanied by a delegation of more than 80 officials and business representatives.
Luxon said: “India and New Zealand share a growing economic relationship, and the hospitality sector presents significant opportunities for collaboration.
“As technology continues to transform the way businesses operate, partnerships like this one between STAAH and Sayaji Hotels demonstrate the power of innovation in enhancing guest experiences and operational efficiency. I am pleased to see New Zealand’s expertise in hospitality technology contributing to India’s dynamic and fast-evolving tourism industry.”
Known for providing accommodations and versatile meeting facilities, Sayaji Hotels caters to both leisure and business travellers.
By utilising STAAH’s expertise, Sayaji Hotels aims to improve distribution capabilities and revenue management across its properties.
STAAH director Tarun Joukani said: “The hospitality landscape is evolving rapidly, and technology is now at the core of optimising operations and enhancing guest experiences.
“Our partnership with Sayaji Hotels is a testament to the growing demand for smart, cloud-based solutions that drive efficiency and revenue growth.”
Sayaji Hotels director Jameel Sayed said: “At Sayaji Hotels, we continuously strive to blend tradition with innovation, offering world-class experiences to our guests.
