Running a homestay, farmstay, or independent property is no longer just about offering a place to stay—it’s about building a brand that attracts guests, creates memorable experiences, and drives consistent revenue.
Yet, many property owners struggle with low bookings, inconsistent income, and lack of visibility. This is exactly where the Staypreneur Summit steps in.
The Shift: From Property Owner to Staypreneur
Most stay owners operate like landlords. Successful ones think like staypreneurs.
A staypreneur focuses on:
- Building a strong brand identity
- Creating unique guest experiences
- Using digital platforms effectively
- Driving repeat bookings and referrals
The summit helps you make this shift with real-world strategies—not theory.

Learn What Actually Drives Bookings
One of the biggest challenges for property owners is visibility. Even great spaces go unnoticed without the right positioning.
At the Staypreneur Summit, you’ll learn:
- How to position your property to stand out
- Pricing strategies that maximize occupancy and revenue
- Simple digital techniques to increase bookings
- Ways to turn first-time guests into repeat customers
These are the same principles used by leading hospitality brands like Club Mahindra and adapted for independent property owners.

Real Insights from Real Operators
What makes this summit different is its practical approach.
You won’t just hear from consultants—you’ll learn from:
Farmstay and homestay owners
Boutique hospitality operators
Industry professionals who have built successful brands
These are people who have faced the same challenges and found ways to grow.

Learn from Proven Experience
The summit is hosted by Kiruba Shankar, a digital business strategist and co-owner of Vaksana Farms. Having advised brands like Club Mahindra, Sterling Holiday Resorts, and Mangohills, he brings deep expertise in improving bookings, visibility, and customer engagement. More importantly, he has applied the same strategies to build Vaksana Farms into a successful stay experience brand—making the insights highly practical and relevant.
Beyond Learning: Building the Right Network
Growth doesn’t happen in isolation.
At the Staypreneur Summit, you’ll connect with:
Like-minded property owners
Hospitality professionals
Potential collaborators and partners
These connections often lead to new ideas, partnerships, and long-term growth opportunities.
Turning Ideas into Action
Many events leave you inspired—but unsure of what to do next.
This summit is different. The focus is on:
Simple, actionable strategies
Clear frameworks you can implement immediately
Practical insights that directly impact your bookings and revenue
The goal is simple: help you take action the moment you return to your property.
