Moustache Group launches Luxuria Gokarna, enters Southern India

0

Moustache Group of Hotels has launched Luxuria Gokarna by Moustache, marking its premium hospitality brand’s entry into southern India and strengthening the group’s presence along the western coast. Situated on a hill near Om Beach in Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district, the property offers panoramic views of the Arabian Sea and the surrounding green valleys.

The launch expands Luxuria’s portfolio beyond its established leisure destinations in Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and other northern markets. With the addition of the Gokarna property, Luxuria by Moustache now operates 11 properties, while Moustache Group of Hotels has a total portfolio of 38 properties across its Hostels, Select, and Luxuria verticals.

Luxuria Gokarna features 22 accommodation units, including 14 rooms overlooking the central swimming pool, four cottages with private plunge pools, and four cottages equipped with bathtubs. Additionally, two Presidential Suites occupy the upper floors and offer views from multiple sides. The property also provides an in-house restaurant, parking facilities, and a garden to enhance the guest experience.

Commenting on the launch, Abhishek Khandelwal, co-founder and director, Moustache Group of Hotels, said, “Gokarna gives us a very strong combination of beach, culture, and leisure travel, and it has a pace that fits naturally with Luxuria. The property itself sits above the surrounding landscape, so the sea and valley views become a big part of the stay. For us, this is also an important step in taking Luxuria further south and building a stronger presence in destinations where travellers are increasingly looking for quieter, more experience-led holidays.”

Gokarna offers a mix of religious tourism and coastal leisure experiences. The destination draws pilgrims to the Mahabaleshwar Temple, which houses the revered Atmalinga, while its coastline features popular beaches such as Gokarna Main, Kudle, Om, Half Moon, and Paradise. Moreover, the destination attracts visitors seeking beach activities, coastal trails, and wellness experiences.

The launch also comes ahead of Gokarna’s primary travel season, which typically runs from October to February. During this period, favourable conditions support beach visits and outdoor activities, positioning Luxuria Gokarna to cater to travellers seeking premium coastal stays and experience-led holidays.

Shivendra Singh, CEO of Nestrov Real Estate LLC

Nestrov, a UAE–India-focused full-stack real estate advisory and brokerage firm, has announced plans to expand its international real estate expertise and cross-border investment network across India’s key property markets.

Targeting a USD 50 billion luxury brokerage opportunity spanning ultra-luxury and mid-luxury residential and commercial real estate, the company is establishing offices in Mumbai and Thane, strengthening its operations in Pune and Bengaluru, and planning its next expansion into Hyderabad.

Over the past seven years, Nestrov has developed a multidisciplinary real estate platform covering Residential and Commercial Brokerage, Land Services, Industrial & Logistics, and Post-Sales Wealth Management Services. Headquartered in Dubai, with established regional hubs, the company has facilitated over 1,000 successful transactions valued at more than USD 225 million. With a workforce of over 150 real estate specialists, Nestrov provides end-to-end investment advisory and asset management solutions for developers, institutional investors, ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), and homebuyers.

Furthermore, Nestrov’s institutional approach and transparent governance have helped it secure elite channel partnership status with leading developers across the UAE and India. Its portfolio includes UAE-based developers such as DAMAC, Emaar, Danube, Sobha Realty, Aldar, Binghatti, and Dubai Properties. In India, its developer relationships include DLF, Godrej Properties, Prestige Group, Brigade Group, Hiranandani, Shapoorji Pallonji, and Sobha Limited.

By leveraging these established partnerships and its international expertise, Nestrov aims to strengthen UAE–India real estate ties and create seamless cross-border investment opportunities through a customer-centric advisory model.

“Having established a formidable market presence across Dubai and Pune, our strategic mandate is to deepen our footprint in India’s most dynamic real estate corridors. India’s macro-economic resilience, surging UHNWI wealth creation, and strong homeownership sentiment present an unprecedented USD 50 billion opportunity across the ultra-luxury and mid-luxury brokerage segments.

Our expansion into Mumbai, Thane, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad is not merely about geographic scaling; it is about deploying our proven cross-border advisory model to bridge international capital flows with India’s premium real estate assets. By combining deep local market intelligence with global standards of transparency, technology, and governance, Nestrov is uniquely positioned to empower investors and redefine real estate advisory standards across the region,” said Shivendra Singh, CEO, Nestrov Real Estate LLC.

Spill Games secures $10.5 Mn to scale AI-powered mobile gaming

Om Misra, Tapan Ranjan, and Harsh Garg, co-founders, Spill Games

Bengaluru-based mobile gaming studio Spill Games has raised $10.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Elevation Capital. Existing investors Centre Court Capital and PeerCapital also participated in the round.

Founded in 2024 by former PlaySimple Games executives Om Misra, Tapan Ranjan, and Harsh Garg, Spill Games develops free-to-play casual, puzzle, and hybrid-casual mobile games for international markets.

The company will deploy the fresh capital to scale games, demonstrating strong performance; develop new titles; strengthen its technology and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities; invest in user acquisition; and selectively expand its workforce.

Notably, Spill Games has doubled the number of titles showing potential for profitable scaling from three to six in less than three months. To identify promising games, the company follows a portfolio-based strategy that involves developing multiple concepts and testing them with players before committing additional resources.

Furthermore, Spill evaluates each game’s performance using data on player retention, engagement, monetisation and user acquisition. This approach enables the company to identify promising titles and allocate investments based on their growth potential.

At the core of its strategy is Compass, a proprietary technology platform that integrates tools for analytics, player retention, monetisation, and live operations. In addition, the company said its AI-driven processes have accelerated game development by approximately four times compared with traditional approaches by reducing the time required to build and test games.

“We believe the next decade will see the rise of AI-native gaming studios that pair AI with strong product instinct, data, and rapid experimentation,” said Manish Advani, principal at Elevation Capital.

The latest funding round follows Spill Games’ $3.1 million seed round in April 2026. With its India-based development capabilities, the company aims to build games for international markets while expanding its portfolio of mobile gaming titles.

Spill Games generates revenue through advertising and in-app purchases, which allow players to pay for additional features or content within games. Meanwhile, the global mobile gaming market continues to offer significant growth opportunities. According to Grand View Research, the market is estimated to be worth $176.7 billion in 2026 and is projected to reach $256.2 billion by 2030.

Against this backdrop, Spill Games is expanding as gaming studios increasingly compete to attract and retain players. By combining data-driven decision-making, AI-powered development, and faster experimentation, the company aims to identify successful titles, improve profitability, and direct investment towards games with strong scaling potential.

Deep-tech startup Vimag Labs expands manufacturing footprint in India

Manish Seth and Dr. Piyush Desai, co-founders, Vimag Labs

Accel-backed deep-tech startup Vimag Labs has commenced production at its first manufacturing facility in Jhajjar, Haryana, and plans to invest Rs 50 crore in phases to expand its manufacturing capacity.

The company manufactures and assembles motors, control systems, and related propulsion systems. It has already completed and exported its first production batch from the Jhajjar facility, marking the beginning of its manufacturing expansion in India.

Vimag Labs plans to invest approximately Rs 50 crore across its phased manufacturing expansion. Initially, the company will focus on scaling mid-power motor and control systems for commercial programmes. As customer programmes mature, it also plans to expand into high-power systems of 570 kW and above while strengthening partnerships across India for manufacturing, supply chain, tooling, and industrialisation.

“Our initial focus is on scaling mid-power motor and control systems for commercial programmes. As customer programmes mature, we plan to extend manufacturing into high-power systems of 570 kW and above and deepen partnerships across India for manufacturing, supply chain, tooling, and industrialisation,” said Manish Seth, co-founder and CEO, Vimag Labs.

Meanwhile, the company said its total investment will evolve based on market traction and expansion opportunities. Its manufacturing network is designed to scale up to 10,000 motor and control systems per month as customer volumes increase.

The Jhajjar facility currently spans 10,000 sq ft, with the potential to expand to approximately 20,000 sq ft. In the initial phase, Vimag Labs will prioritise industrialisation, process validation, and serial production of mid-power motor and control systems.

Through this expansion, the company aims to establish a flexible, India-based manufacturing base that can scale with customer demand and support both domestic and global programmes.

Furthermore, Vimag Labs expects its manufacturing expansion to generate approximately 100 to 150 direct and indirect employment opportunities across manufacturing, quality, testing, engineering, supply chain, and operations. The company also plans to make local recruitment an important part of its workforce expansion.

Recently, Vimag Labs raised USD 5 million in a Series A funding round led by Accel, with participation from Chakra Growth Fund and Thinkuvate. The latest manufacturing development marks another step in the startup’s efforts to strengthen its production capabilities and scale its motor and control systems business in India.

Vantrock Real Assets to invest Rs 3,100-Cr in industrial and warehousing parks

0
Anshul Singhal Founder & CEO, Vantrock Real Assets

Vantrock Real Assets plans to invest over Rs 3,000 crore over the next four years to develop industrial, logistics, and warehousing parks across major Indian cities. The investment comes amid rising demand from light manufacturing companies, e-commerce players, and third-party logistics (3PL) operators.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Mumbai-based company said it would initially focus on developing industrial, logistics, and warehousing parks. It aims to create 11.5 million sq ft of space over the next four years, with a projected gross asset value of Rs 4,200 crore upon completion.

The initial development phase will cover 3 million sq ft across Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Pune. Subsequently, Vantrock plans to expand into the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

Anshul Singhal, a real estate industry veteran with over two decades of experience, founded Vantrock Real Assets Pvt Ltd to pursue opportunities in the industrial and warehousing sector.

“Every good industrial and warehousing park in this country is full, and the new ones are being built an hour or more away from where the customer’s business is. We are going the other way by acquiring the infill land that is left inside proven corridors and the Grade-B sheds already standing there, refurbished to Grade- A standards,” said Singhal, the founder and CEO of the company.

Singhal added that the company has completed the assembly of land parcels and plans to begin construction across 3 million sq ft in 2027. Instead of relying solely on outright property purchases, Vantrock intends to secure premium infill land through long-term leases, joint ventures, and joint development arrangements.

“The total planned investment is estimated at about Rs 3,100 crore, covering approvals, construction, and financing, and is intended to be funded through equity, construction debt, and forward funding,” the company said.

Meanwhile, Shailesh V. Haribhakti, Chairman of the Board, Vantrock, said the company would prioritise maintaining quality standards while expanding its operations rapidly.

In addition to developing new facilities, Vantrock plans to refurbish ageing warehousing properties in prime locations. Under this strategy, the company will acquire existing Grade-B buildings outright or through joint ventures and retain ownership of the assets.

“India’s Grade-A warehousing market is at an inflection point. Demand from 3PL operators, e-commerce players, and manufacturing occupiers is outpacing quality supply across key corridors near the major cities, and that gap is only expected to widen through the end of the decade,” said Rami Kaushal, Managing Director – Consulting & Valuation, CBRE India.

Through these initiatives, Vantrock aims to originate, develop, operate, and manage institutional-grade real assets, positioning itself to capitalise on the growing demand for high-quality industrial and warehousing infrastructure in India.

India’s first startup-focused business school Mesa School of Business raises ₹110-Cr to expand AI-first education

0
Ankit Agarwal and Varun Limaye, co-founders, Mesa School of Business

India’s first startup-focused business school, Mesa School of Business, has raised ₹110 crore through a combination of equity and venture debt to strengthen its AI-first business education offerings, expand its programmes and deepen partnerships with the startup ecosystem.

The funding includes approximately ₹85 crore in Series A equity co-led by Dharana Capital and existing investor Elevation Capital, along with ₹25 crore in venture debt from InnoVen Capital and Alteria Capital.

Founded in 2023 by Ankit Agarwal and Varun Limaye, Mesa School of Business offers residential programmes centred on practical, hands-on learning. Every student builds and operates a small business while learning to use artificial intelligence (AI) to develop and launch a technology product. Moreover, more than 100 founders have taught on campus, while students have completed over 200 projects with startups. The school also has backing from prominent founders, including Kunal Shah (CRED), Vidit Aatrey (Meesho), Abhiraj Bhal (Urban Company), and Vijay Shekhar Sharma (Paytm).

Over the past three years, Mesa has expanded from a single postgraduate cohort to more than 550 students across three programmes. These include a one-year Post Graduate Programme in Startup Leadership, a four-year undergraduate programme in business and entrepreneurship, and Forge, a one-year programme for fresh graduates.

Mesa alumni pursue full-time roles at startups or establish their own businesses. The first two postgraduate cohorts secured an average cost to the company (CTC) of ₹26 lakh, while the top 25% of graduates averaged ₹36.5 lakh. All placed students joined leading startups, including Zomato, Zepto, Urban Company, Scapia, and Comet. Notably, 58% of them entered founder-facing roles.

Entrepreneurship has also emerged as a key outcome of Mesa’s learning model, with nearly 20% of graduates starting their own ventures. More than 50 student startups are currently incubated at Mesa Startup Lab, the school’s in-house residency. Collectively, these ventures have raised over ₹25 crore in funding and grants and achieved an annual revenue run-rate exceeding ₹50 crore.

Their backers include Nikhil Kamath, Ronnie Screwvala, Campus Fund, BeyondSeed, Foundery, i-Venture@ISB, and IdeaBaaz. Among these ventures, Mumbai Pav Co. has raised ₹9 crore. Additionally, two student founders have appeared on Shark Tank India.

Mesa plans to deploy the newly raised capital across three key areas. First, it will strengthen its leadership team and develop capabilities in AI-led programme design and delivery, supporting the expansion of existing and new courses. Second, the school will deepen strategic partnerships with leading startups to shape its curriculum and provide students with industry-led projects, mentorship, and employment opportunities. Finally, it will invest in launching and scaling additional programmes.

“The rapid evolution of modern tech has exposed a glaring disconnect in higher education: students feel unprepared for new-age roles, and companies can’t find job-ready talent. Mesa is bridging that gap by rethinking business education for an AI-first world, ensuring students develop proven, high-impact operational capabilities,” said Vamsi Duvvuri, Founder and Managing Partner, Dharana Capital.

“Higher education in India needs to be rebuilt for the AI era, not patched. We believe founder-led, mission-driven schools like Mesa will be the new-age builders of Indian education, and we’re excited to double down,” said Mukul Arora, Co-Managing Partner, Elevation Capital.

“In an AI-led world, what will set ambitious young people apart is judgement, a bias for action, and an understanding of how the world actually works—and those come only from experience. That’s why at Mesa, every student builds a real business with real revenue, uses AI on live problems, and gets feedback from founders who are always in the room. That is why startups hire our students, and why so many of them go on to build their own startups,” said Ankit Agarwal, co-founder, Mesa School of Business.

“AI will take over much of back-office work. Young people shouldn’t spend their early careers in roles that are disappearing but in building, selling, and launching things. That’s what Mesa trains them to do,” said Varun Limaye, co-founder, Mesa School of Business.

CIEL HR Services targets ₹2,600-Cr revenue in FY27

Latha Rajan & K Pandiarajan, Co-founders, CIEL HR Services

CIEL HR Services, one of India’s leading integrated HR and workforce solutions companies, reported a 27% year-on-year increase in revenue to ₹1,178 crore in the first half of FY27.

The Chennai-based company expects to achieve ₹2,600 crore in revenue during the current financial year and aims to become a ₹6,000 crore enterprise under its Vision 2030 roadmap. Meanwhile, the company may pursue its initial public offering (IPO) in the financial year ending March 2028.

K Pandiarajan, executive chairperson of CIEL HR Group, said, “H1 has been a standout half for CIEL. We grew profits faster than revenue and turned our cash flows positive, which tells us the business is scaling with discipline. Bringing People Metrics and Courseplay together gives our clients one connected path from understanding their people’s capabilities to building them. We expect this, along with our continued focus on productivity, to strengthen our bottom line further in the second half.”

CIEL HR Services recorded EBITDA of ₹32 crore in H1 FY27, marking a 31% year-on-year increase. Additionally, its EBITDA margin expanded by 8 basis points to 2.74%. Profit after tax (PAT) rose 19.3% year-on-year to ₹13.7 crore, reflecting continued momentum across its integrated HR solutions portfolio.

The company also improved its cash generation during the first half. Operating cash flow turned positive at ₹12.7 crore in H1 FY27, compared with an outflow of ₹0.7 crore in H1 FY26. Similarly, free cash flow reached ₹2.3 crore, against an outflow of ₹12.6 crore in the corresponding period last year. These improvements reflect stronger cash conversion and disciplined capital deployment.

With EBITDA growing faster than revenue, CIEL continued to build operating leverage across its PeopleOS ecosystem. The platform combines technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and specialised HR expertise to deliver integrated workforce solutions. Furthermore, rising enterprise investments in workforce transformation, digital HR, and AI adoption supported demand across the company’s solutions portfolio.

“As we shared with you last time, our revenue target for FY27 is ₹2,600 crore. Our gross profit target is ₹260 crore, representing a gross margin of 10 per cent. Our EBITDA target is ₹62 crore, which is our operating profit target. Our PBT target is around ₹28 crore, compared to approximately ₹17 crore last year,” Pandiarajan said.

Beyond these financial targets, Pandiarajan highlighted the company’s organisational restructuring and operational integration plans. “First, we are consolidating our 12 discrete businesses into three business clusters. This is a key structural objective. Second, within these clusters, we aim to integrate functions wherever possible and proportionately reduce the support functions across the 12 businesses, including finance, HR, and administration, relative to the core business operations,” he added.

Another key priority involves integrating AI wherever possible, both into the company’s products and across its internal functions. Through these initiatives, CIEL aims to improve productivity, streamline operations, and strengthen profitability.

“Since we have deferred our IPO by one year, this financial year needs to be a strong one, enabling us to establish a solid valuation as we move towards the IPO. We hope to return to the market for a listing in FY28,” he added.

Textile tech startup Whizzo in talks to raise USD 26 Mn in Series B funding

0

Bengaluru-based textile technology startup Whizzo is reportedly in talks to raise around USD 26 million in its Series B funding round. Aavishkaar Capital and Bertelsmann Investments could co-lead the round, according to a media report.

Additionally, existing investors Fundamentum and Lightspeed Venture Partners are likely to participate in the proposed funding round, sources said.

The potential fundraise comes approximately six months after Whizzo secured USD 15 million in its Series A round, led by Fundamentum with participation from South Korean investor LB Investment and Lightspeed. The startup planned to use the proceeds to strengthen research and development (R&D) and build proprietary intellectual property in materials science.

Earlier, in January 2025, Whizzo raised its first institutional funding in a round led by Lightspeed Ventures. The startup intended to deploy the capital towards advanced R&D, setting up a design lab for fashion-engineered textiles and expanding its supply chain.

Founded in 2024 by Shrestha Kukreja, Whizzo operates as a contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO), offering textile design and R&D services to clients across India, Vietnam, China, and Bangladesh.

The company integrates R&D, formulation, prototyping, process engineering, and commercial-scale manufacturing under one roof. Moreover, it serves business-to-business manufacturers by developing materials for applications across geotextiles, agricultural textiles, protective and flame-retardant materials, specialty yarns, engineered apparel textiles, and industrial composites.

Whizzo also develops proprietary textile blends by leveraging materials science and sustainability-focused processes. These capabilities support its efforts to deliver specialised textile solutions across diverse industrial applications.

The proposed Series B funding comes amid growing investor interest in technology-driven textile manufacturing and materials innovation. Consequently, companies are increasingly investing in proprietary materials, R&D, and manufacturing capabilities to enhance product development processes.
