We build travel infrastructure for how modern India moves.
StayCircle is an enterprise travel and hospitality group headquartered in Gurugram, operating four specialised divisions united by a single service standard.
From a few bucks and credit cards to a thriving enterprise.
A journey of vision, perseverance and trust — and it is only the beginning.
In 2019, Ankur Barthwal and Rajesh Choudhary set out with a bold vision: to transform corporate travel by building a trusted support structure for boutique hotels across India.
What began with the confidence of a handful of corporate partners quickly attracted the attention of leading travel management companies, laying the foundation for Stay Circle. From domestic beginnings, we expanded into the APAC and Middle Eastern markets, earning the trust of global corporate clients.
When the world faced the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19, the company stood resilient — driven by grit, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to its mission. Emerging stronger, we diversified into defence travel, launched a dedicated MICE division, and most recently introduced Ghumloe, a venture designed to enrich travel experiences further.
Each milestone reflects our ability to adapt, innovate, and grow organically year after year. What started with a few bucks and credit cards has now become a thriving enterprise with nine-figure revenues, growing month after month. Our journey is a testament to the power of vision, perseverance, and trust — qualities that continue to fuel our ambition to redefine corporate travel management on a global scale.
