SeaHorse Hospitality Consulting has secured its first branded hotel in Ranjangaon through a strategic partnership with the Sayaji Group, thereby marking a significant milestone in the region’s hospitality landscape. Effotel by Sayaji, Ranjangaon, will debut as the town’s first branded hotel and will become fully operational by March 2028, consequently addressing a long-standing gap in premium accommodation for corporate travelers.
“Ranjangaon is a critical, underserved industrial corridor. Securing the town’s first branded hotel with Sayaji ensures this asset is perfectly positioned to capture premium corporate demand and achieve market leadership from day one,” said Sandeep Roy, Founder & CEO, SeaHorse Hospitality Consulting.
Moreover, the hotel benefits from a highly strategic location, as it sits in close proximity to the five-star Ranjangaon MIDC, a major industrial hub that hosts several large corporate entities, and lies approximately 50 kilometers from Pune Airport. As a result, the property positions itself as the preferred destination for business travelers, corporate off-sites, and executive stays, while simultaneously strengthening Ranjangaon’s appeal as a corporate hub.
Meanwhile, the official signing ceremony on November 29, 2025, brought together key stakeholders, including Gahininath Narawade, Sachin Malgunde, and Tushar Kale, Partners at Ranjangaon Hotel LLP, alongside Pawandeep Singh, director of development at Sayaji Hotels LLP, and Sandeep Roy, CEO of SeaHorse Hospitality Consulting. Through this collaboration, the partners reinforced their shared commitment to unlocking value in high-potential industrial markets.
Furthermore, the transaction highlights SeaHorse Hospitality Consulting’s leadership as a hotel brand advisory firm that consistently identifies underserved locations with strong demand fundamentals. Through focused guidance on asset positioning, planning, and revenue optimization, SeaHorse ensures that the hotel maximizes profitability within the specialized corporate segment, while Sayaji’s established operational framework enhances execution and long-term performance.
Additionally, Effotel by Sayaji, Ranjangaon, will rise on a 36,000 sq ft land parcel and will cater specifically to the modern business traveler by blending efficiency with upscale amenities. The property will feature 50 contemporary rooms, including four suites, supported by an all-day dining restaurant that accommodates 80 guests. Complementing this, a spacious rooftop lounge bar with seating for 130 guests will offer scenic views and social engagement.
The hotel will also include robust MICE infrastructure, comprising a 3,000 sq ft banquet hall and a dedicated 500 sq ft conference hall, thereby enabling seamless corporate meetings and social events.
