Both hotels will be built on a 3-acre land parcel near Kolavai Lake, a key location within the integrated business city.

According to Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of IHCL, "IHCL has been present in Chennai for over five decades. These signings are in line with our strategy of expanding our presence into emerging micro-markets of key metros. Such markets with planned industrial, residential, and social infrastructure offer substantial opportunities for a multi-brand hospitality development. Solidifying our presence in the city, both Vivanta and Ginger are well positioned to cater to the diverse demand of this integrated business city. We are delighted to partner with Dr. G P Subash for these projects.”

Dr. G P Subash, Founder and Director of Asbri Energy, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, "We are excited to collaborate with IHCL to bring the Vivanta and Ginger brands to Mahindra World City in Chennai. With a unique blend of amenities and services, these new hotels will provide the perfect abode for business travelers and tourists alike."
