Bengaluru is gearing up for two major global events - Aero India 2025 and the Global Investor's Meet, bringing a surge in visitors and a significant rise in hotel prices.
With business leaders, investors, and aviation enthusiasts set to arrive next week, the city’s hotels are almost fully booked, even in the outskirts. The soaring demand has resulted in a 20% hike in room tariffs, with star hotels charging up to INR 15,000 per night.
Hotels at Maximum Capacity:
According to Veerendra Kamat, Secretary of Bangalore Hotels Association, the simultaneous occurrence of Aero India and the Global Investor's Meet has doubled the usual demand, pushing prices higher than ever.
Pre-Bookings Drive Up Price:
Sanjay Sonar, AVP of Sales & Marketing at Vividus Hotels, noted that early bookings started a month ago, causing a steady rise in room rates. “We expected an increase, but the demand took us by surprise,” he said.
Global Exposure for Bengaluru’s Hospitality Sector:
This spike in bookings is seen as a golden opportunity for Bengaluru’s hotels to showcase their services to a diverse international audience. Abhijith R, F&B Manager at Hyatt Centric Hebbal, highlighted how the event allows hospitality brands to engage with a global clientele.
Prime Locations See Peak Demand:
Hotels near event venues and the airport are particularly in demand. Anuradha Venkatachalam, Hotel Captain at Moxy Bengaluru Airport Prestige Tech Cloud, emphasized that their proximity to key locations makes them an ideal choice for visitors.
Corporate & Defense Bookings Surge:
The CBD area hotels are witnessing a massive influx of corporate and defense personnel, according to Sathish Kumar, Front Office Manager at Citadel Sarovar Portico, Race Course. “We leave only 1% of rooms for last-minute travelers, but prices will continue to rise due to demand,” he added.
With just days left until Aero India 2025 and the Global Investor's Meet, Bengaluru’s hospitality sector is experiencing one of its busiest seasons, reaffirming the city’s status as a key global business and aviation hub.

Muscat Grand Mall, a premier destination under the Tilal Development Company, has partnered with SRED to launch "Little India" as its new social anchor—a vibrant hub showcasing the rich diversity of Indian culture, cuisine, fashion, and heritage. This strategic move sets the stage for Indian brands looking to expand in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region, leveraging Oman’s central location and the growing demand for curated international retail experiences.
Mr. Ali Hosni, Acting CEO/General Manager of Muscat Grand Mall, shared his excitement about the initiative:
"Muscat Grand Mall has always been a canvas for innovation and cultural expression. With ‘Little India’, we are not just creating a retail space—we are creating a bridge between India and the GCC. This is an invitation for Indian brands to be part of a regional success story, backed by strong footfall, premium infrastructure, and a rising consumer base in Oman."
Echoing this sentiment, Mr. Shriram PM Monga, Co-founder of SRED, emphasized the broader impact:
"‘Little India’ is more than a commercial concept—it’s a social ecosystem designed to serve the large Indian community in Oman and the wider Gulf. It’s a unique opportunity for Indian brands to plug into a culturally aligned audience, celebrate India abroad, and grow in a region that values authenticity and diversity."
The "Little India" initiative will serve as a permanent cultural anchor within Muscat Grand Mall, offering Indian brands a tailored platform to connect with both resident and tourist consumers in Oman. Fashion labels, food concepts, home décor brands, and artisanal businesses from India will now have a dedicated space to showcase their offerings to an expanding and receptive market.
SRED’s expertise in regional retail development will assist Indian brands with strategic onboarding through customized leasing programs, cultural programming, and integrated marketing initiatives to ensure their long-term success in the region.
Indian brands interested in exploring retail expansion in the GCC are encouraged to connect with representatives from Muscat Grand Mall and SRED to learn how they can be part of this unique cultural and commercial initiative.
