A groundbreaking first conference dedicated to the Indian Holiday Rental Industry
SCALE India 2026 is a two-day forum bringing together India’s most influential voices in short-term rentals, real estate, tourism, hospitality, investment, and urban development.
Hosted in Mumbai, India’s cultural and economic powerhouse, the forum explores the country’s rapidly evolving STR landscape — from regulatory frameworks and market entry to tourism shifts, domestic demand, and new development opportunities.
With the rise of domestic travel, changing consumer behaviour, infrastructure expansion, and government-backed tourism initiatives, India stands at the cusp of a major accommodation transformation.
SCALE India provides a platform where leaders from various regions and sectors come together to shape the future of STR nationwide.
Why attend
Insights for Developers and Regional Growth
The Agenda for SCALE India 20265 extends its focus beyond operations to encompass asset development and future geographic expansion.
