Mumbai, February 2^nd 2026 – Olive by Embassy, the tech-led hospitality brand of Embassy Group, today announced its entry into Pune with the launch of two strategic properties: Olive Hotel Baner (48 keys) and Olive Hotel Wakad (30 keys). Strategically positioned in Pune’s prime business-lifestyle micro-markets, these hotels target the city’s booming IT corridors, corporate hubs, and growing residential catchments.

The dual debut marks a pivotal step in Olive’s aggressive expansion across India’s top metros. Pune – with Hinjewadi as India’s largest IT hub, rapid infrastructure growth, and surging business travel – represents a high-potential market for tech-enabled, efficient hospitality.

“Pune is a powerhouse of innovation and enterprise, driving demand for smart accommodation that matches the pace of its professionals,” said Kahraman Yigit, CEO & Co-founder, Olive by Embassy. “Olive Hotel Baner and Wakad deliver seamless access to IT parks, corporate offices, and lifestyle destinations, powered by our signature AI-driven model. This launch strengthens our metro footprint while scaling for Pune’s next growth phase.”

Olive Hotel Baner, nestled in established Baner, this hotel blends corporate accessibility with vibrant social infrastructure. Olive Hotel Wakad, perfectly positioned in high-demand Wakad for Hinjewadi commuters and long-stays, it offers immediate access to Westgate Business Park and Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Tailored for IT consultants, project teams, and extended business stays.

Pune anchors Olive’s West India growth, targeting 40+ hotels and 1200+ keys by 2030 in high-growth corridors like Hinjewadi, Pimpri Chinchwad, Hadapsar, Kalyani Nagar, MG Road, Viman Nagar, and Koregaon Park. Nationally, Olive aims for 100+ new locations in 2026, building on its Bengaluru, Mysore, Chikmagalur, Vijayawada, and now Pune network. Recent launches include Open Hotels (world’s first remote AI operator) and a Hilton partnership for 150 Spark hotels.

The debut marks a strategic milestone in Olive’s expansion into India’s top metro markets. A national hub for GCCs with a strong concentration of multinationals, a deep talent base, and expanding airport connectivity continues to make Hyderabad and the Hitech City–Gachibowli nexus one of the country’s most booming hospitality corridors.

“Hyderabad has evolved into a powerhouse for global technology and enterprise,” said Kahraman Yigit, CEO & Co-founder, Olive by Embassy. “As multinational companies expand and business travel intensifies, the market is demanding hospitality that is consistent, efficient, and technology-enabled. Our debut in Hitech City reflects Olive’s commitment to meeting this demand with a new standard of smart, organised accommodation.”

The standalone G+7 property features 73 contemporary rooms, a 45-seater restaurant, and a fully equipped fitness centre. Its location makes it a strong fit for corporate travellers visiting Hitech City, Gachibowli, and the Financial District; long-stay guests seeking predictable, high-quality service; and tech professionals arriving for short projects, relocations, and training programmes.

In line with Olive’s signature model, the hotel operates without a conventional front desk.

Instead, guests experience AI-enabled check-in and a live video reception, cloud-based systems for instant service requests, smart room controls, and predictive maintenance. By removing friction from the operations layer, Olive delivers a faster, more intuitive stay experience – critical for frequent business travellers with tight schedules.

For Olive, Hyderabad serves as a strategic anchor for its South India expansion plan. The brand aims to add 10 hotels across Telangana in the next 12–18 months, focusing on high-demand micro-markets around Hitech City, Kukatpally, the Financial District, and the airport corridor. Nationally, Olive is on track to add 100 locations in 2026, with Hyderabad playing a key role in its metro-market portfolio.

Olive by Embassy continues to build momentum across its network spanning Bengaluru, Mysore, Chikmagalur, Vijayawada, and Pune. The brand recently launched Open Hotels – the world’s first remote, AI-native hotel operator – designed to transform budget to midscale hospitality through video-led reception, voice AI guest intelligence, and operational automation. In 2024, it signed a Strategic Licensing Agreement with Hilton to bring 150 Spark by Hilton Hotels to India.
