Manav Thadani, Founder & Chairman, Hotelivate, said: “This investment by Savills enables us to scale that platform in a more institutional manner… while preserving the sector depth that defines our firm.”

Hotelivate will continue operating across its offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangkok, Dubai, Jakarta and Singapore, now with expanded access to Savills’ regional and global platform.
