Olive presently operates 55 co-living and hotel properties across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Goa, with a total of 2,688 keys. The company has plans to add another 5,001 keys to its portfolio. Olive operates four sub-brands, including Olive Life, Olive Zip, Olive Hotel, and Villa Olive, ranging from co-living and budget stays to luxury resorts, hotels, and villas.
In terms of business performance, Olive is looking to double its revenue in the ongoing financial year (2024-25) from the ₹51 crore clocked in the last fiscal. The company has already achieved 40% of its target in the first quarter of this financial year. However, Olive is running late on its initially anticipated timeframe of turning profitable by June 2024, owing to a lag in construction timelines.
The Bengaluru-headquartered real estate major, Embassy Group, had pledged an investment of ₹2,000 crore into Olive back in 2020. However, so far, less than 5% of this fund has been deployed. Luxury stays fetch anywhere between ₹15,000-40,000 per unit into the company's kitty. Presently, 90% of the brand's business comes in the form of short stays.
Information Embassy Group is a leading real estate developer based in Bengaluru, with a presence across India. The company is known for its commercial, residential, and hospitality projects.
Olive is a co-living and hospitality brand that offers a range of stays, from budget-friendly options to luxury resorts, hotels, and villas. The brand aims to provide a unique and comfortable living experience to its guests.
