Brigade Hotel Ventures Limited, the second largest owner of chain-affiliated hotels and rooms in South India, has raised ₹126 crore in a pre-IPO placement round, bringing a strategic investor on board ahead of its planned initial public offering.
The company issued 1.4 crore equity shares to 360 ONE Alternates Asset Management Limited (360 ONE) at ₹90 per share (including a premium of ₹80) in consultation with lead bankers. This placement, representing 4.74% of Brigade Hotel Ventures’ pre-offer share capital, effectively trims the IPO size announced in the DRHP from ₹900 crore to ₹774 crore.
The company intends to use approximately ₹481 crore from the IPO proceeds for debt repayment, including ₹412 crore for Brigade Hotel Ventures and ₹69 crore for its subsidiary, SRP Prosperita Hotel Ventures. Additionally, around ₹108 crore is earmarked to purchase an undivided share of land from its promoter BEL, while the remaining funds will support acquisitions, other strategic initiatives, and general corporate purposes.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Brigade Enterprises Limited, one of India’s leading real estate developers, Brigade Hotel Ventures owns and develops hotels across key Indian cities, with a strong focus on South India. The company operates nine hotels with 1,604 keys, holding the second largest portfolio of chain-affiliated hotels and rooms in South India, spanning Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and the Union Territories of Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and Pondicherry.
With this pre-IPO boost from 360 ONE, Brigade Hotel Ventures is better positioned to move forward with a leaner public offering, a sharper focus on debt reduction, and strategic expansion in India’s growing hospitality sector.

The first half of 2025 has seen an impressive rise in footfall across the National Capital Region's leading malls. From luxury retail to street-style heritage, and from lifestyle destinations to modern entertainment hubs, these malls have emerged as more than just shopping spaces—they’re cultural and experiential hotspots.
Both Ambience Malls in Vasant Kunj and Gurugram have recorded a 10% rise in footfall compared to the same period in 2024. According to Arjun Gehlot, Director, this growth is the result of a carefully curated brand mix and consistent innovation in guest experience.
In Gurgaon, the addition of brands like Dior, JJ Valaya, Lego, True Religion, and Kalyan Jewellers has expanded the mall’s premium and family-friendly footprint. Meanwhile, Vasant Kunj welcomed PF Chang’s, Blue Tokai, New Balance, and Domino’s, blending global dining with casual fashion and everyday favourites. Together, these additions are positioning Ambience as a space for both indulgence and accessibility.
Bringing order to the charming chaos of Chandni Chowk, Omaxe Chowk continues to gain momentum by modernising heritage retail. Executive Director Jatin Goel says their success comes from "respecting traditional shopping culture while offering modern conveniences."
New launches in 2025 include House of Surya, Twamev, PALMONAS, Khan Baba, KD Salon, and more—each contributing to a rich mix of ethnic fashion, regional food, and wellness. Anchors like Tanishq, Kalyan Jewellers, Imperfecto Mehfil, and Ghoomar remain crowd-pullers, enhancing the mall’s appeal among families and culturally curious tourists.
Vegas Mall in Dwarka has expanded significantly in H1 2025 with an intentional focus on fashion, wellness, and lifestyle experiences.According to Ravinder Choudhary, Vice President, their goal is to create a “lifestyle ecosystem” where every visit feels immersive.
Recent additions include Bewakoof, Libas, AND, Being Human, and Centre for Sight, making the mall a well-rounded destination for shopping, dining, and wellness—all under one roof.
Positioned as the go-to lifestyle hub for Greater Noida West, Gaur City Mall is redefining destination shopping. With eight major jewellery stores including Candere by Kalyan and CaratLane, it has firmly staked its claim as a jewellery hotspot.
The addition of Van Heusen Women, Libas, Theobroma, Starbucks, and the soon-to-launch Funcity enhances the mall’s family-friendly image. As Sarthak Gaur, Director, Gaurs Group, shares, “We’re creating more than a shopping centre—we’re building a community destination.”
Balanced brand mix: Premium, mass, and experiential
Dining & entertainment: A focus beyond retail
Cultural relevance: Especially evident in malls like Omaxe Chowk
Accessibility: Catchment areas are expanding
Repeat engagement: Via events, promotions, and seasonal campaigns
With the festive and wedding seasons around the corner, these malls are gearing up for even stronger footfall and premium brand launches. The focus remains on curating holistic, culturally connected experiences—where shopping meets community, tradition meets innovation, and every visit brings something new.
