It works on three important planks – People, Planet and
Profit.
Its primary aim is to establish standards in the mid segment
hotels in India. It aims to operate 20,000 plus rooms in a short span of ten
years.
Operating net carbon zero hotels is one of the main planks.
New built hotels constructed using 3D Volumetric Construction
Technology, which takes less than one year to complete a 100 room hotel and
which emits almost 60% less CO2, is the main plank of company’s net carbon zero
objective.
Operation of Hotels undertaken under EBOT model of the
company will help it fulfil its objective.

keeping in mind the customer preferences.
Vision:
3 Ps People, Planet and Profit
CONCEPT
World’s
first carbons net zero hotel brand of its kind.
MARKET
India
followed by BRICS and N11 economies.
POSITIONING
3 star premium & 2 star value hotel brands.
The Company has three business models-
- Taking hotels on long term lease to operate
them - Taking hotels in management contract
- EBOT (Enterprise Build Operate and Trade) is
an investment model which involves construction and project management of
newly built hotels using 3D volumetric construction technology. The
technology will help construction of a 100 room hotel in just one year
where the conventional construction technologies take 3 to 4 year to
complete. The model has been conceived for sovereign and other foreign
funds but it is very well suitable to Indian investors too.
EBOT FRANCHISE
PROGRAMME
Eco Hotels has developed a proprietary franchise model
called EBOT. This model offers a turnkey, asset and hotel management solution
that will efficiently create optimised hotel properties for an investor. A fee
is charged for the Enterprise and Build phases of the programme.
ENTERPRISE
COMPANY FORMATION:
A company is incorporated which is fully owned by the investor. Bank accounts
are opened and the investment is placed in the Company account. The investor
operates the Company on instructions from Eco Hotels, which carries out the
ongoing statutory compliance on behalf of the investor.
LAND:
Eco Hotels will source land that fits the location criteria
for the hotel (based on independent third-party report), carry out due
diligence on title, negotiate the price and carry out acquisition on behalf of
the investment company.
PROJECT REPORT:
Eco Hotels will engage a reputed IPC such as CBRE, HVS,
Knight Frank etc to prepare a detailed report which will validate the location,
viability (no of rooms, average room rate and occupancy rate) and market size
of the proposed hotel.
FINANCE:
Optimum structuring
of finance is critical to the viability of hotels in India. Overseas investors
are recommended to gear their equity outside India as cost of borrowing is high
within India. Investors are recommended to gear on a 1:1 debt equity ratio over
a longer term of ten years. Eco Hotels will secure the debt finance in India
based on its existing relations with Indian banks.
BUILD
DESIGN:
Eco Hotels has specifications for all parts of the hotel which forms the master
design template. Depending on the size of the land, local planning guidelines
and the number of rooms that are to be built, the master design template is
adjusted for planning permission.
PLANNING
PERMISSION: A local architect will be engaged by the in-house team to
secure planning permission from local authorities.
CONSTRUCTION:
The Project Management role will be played by the in-house development team.
The investor’s company will enter into a tri-partite construction contract with
a modular buildings contractor and Eco Hotels. This contract will include
detailed costing as well as a fixed time and cost guarantee for the completion
of the construction provided by the modular contractor.
OPERATE
Once the building construction is completed, the investor’s
company will hand over the property to Eco Hotels to operate either on a hybrid
lease with a minimum return for the equity invested or a percentage of the
total revenue, whichever is higher.
TRADE
Eco Hotels is obliged to maintain the asset on a full repair
and insurance basis. In consideration for this, Eco Hotels will get a carried
interest of 20% of gain in capital growth of the asset when it is sold by the
investor. The hurdle rate is set at 10% per annum before the carried interest
is calculated.
CONDUCTING
BUSINESS RESPONSIBLY
To ensure that the Eco Hotel concept holds promise not just
on paper, but earns the targeted profits too, we carried a set of methodical
exercises…

Careful fine-tuning of the position, service and value
proposition of the brand.

market.
