Executive Summary

The Growth Platform for India's Independent Hotels

IndieRooms is a Hotel SaaS platform built specifically for independent hotel owners in India — the small and mid-size properties that are left behind by expensive enterprise hotel software. The platform gives hotel owners everything they need to run and grow their business in one place: a professional website, a channel manager to list on OTAs, and tools to manage bookings and guests.

What truly differentiates IndieRooms is its on-ground approach — the team physically visits hotel owners, understands their problems, and helps them get set up.

The Problem

India's Independent Hotels Are Left Behind

India has hundreds of thousands of independent hotels, guesthouses, and lodges. Most of them struggle with the same set of problems:

The Solution

Three Core Pillars — One Platform

01

Website Builder

Every hotel gets a professional, mobile-friendly website with direct booking capability — no developer needed.

  • Ready-made hotel website templates
  • Direct booking engine — no OTA commissions
  • SEO-optimized to show up on Google
02

Channel Manager

Connect hotels to all major OTAs from a single dashboard — real-time inventory sync prevents double bookings.

  • Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Airbnb
  • Centralized rate management
  • All booking notifications in one place
03

Affordable Pricing

Unlike enterprise hotel software costing ₹50,000+ per year, IndieRooms is priced so that even a 10-room guesthouse can afford it.

  • Low monthly subscription, no large upfront fees
  • No hidden charges or per-booking commissions
  • Designed for properties of 5–100+ rooms
Go-To-Market Strategy
