Spalba, a SaaS-enabled B2B venue marketplace, has set its sights on a ₹100 crore turnover by FY 2026. The company recently closed FY 2025 with a consolidated turnover of ₹60 crore, marking an impressive 3000% year-on-year growth since its inception just five years ago. What makes this journey even more remarkable? Spalba remains fully bootstrapped and profitable, a rarity in today’s startup ecosystem.
Driven by innovation, Spalba is expanding rapidly across Asia. The platform has entered six new markets—Malaysia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bhutan, and Nepal—taking its VenueTech vision global. Back home, the company plans to grow its venue inventory from 11,000 to 13,000 and expand property listings from 2,067 to 4,500 by FY26, effectively doubling its offering and increasing its presence in over 80 Indian cities.
“Our journey from a bootstrapped startup to a ₹60 crore revenue run-rate has been driven by continuous innovation and an unwavering commitment to customer success,” said Vishal Puri, Co-Founder of Spalba. “With our tech-first approach—combining AR-powered Virtual Property Tours, an Event Mockup Builder, AI-driven sales tools, and more—we expect to cross ₹100 crore by FY 2026 and continue modernizing India’s ₹200 billion events industry.”
Over 250 marquee properties including The Leela, Radisson Hotel Group, Accor, and The Oberoi have partnered with Spalba to streamline venue sales and boost cross-selling opportunities. The platform not only simplifies the venue booking process with immersive digital walkthroughs but also reduces the need for paperwork and physical site visits—supporting both revenue growth and sustainability for its clients.
Founded in 2020, Spalba is redefining event planning by making venue discovery and booking faster, smarter, and more collaborative. Its roadmap to ₹100 crore highlights a focus on scalable innovation, customer-centric solutions, and long-term value creation—all without raising external funding.
