On this occasion, Jagrut Thakkar, Founder of JPOD Hotels Pvt Ltd, commented, “We are excited to partner with RGIA in Hyderabad. JPOD’s global standards in design and functionality position us to offer effective accommodation solutions across other airports in India.”
Hiren Gandhi, Director of JPOD Hotels Pvt Ltd, added, “While JPOD is tailored to meet the needs of airport travellers, we initially launched Urbanpod, India’s first-of-its-kind Pod Hotel, in 2017. It was redesigned and relaunched at Mumbai Central Station in 2021 to serve railway passengers. These two strategic launches allowed us to assess the acceptability of Pod-style accommodations in India. Over time, we’ve successfully expanded our offerings, providing seamless and innovative stay experiences for railway and airport travellers.”
Pradeep Panicker, CEO-GHIAL said, “With the ever-growing number of passengers opting for air travel, they are also increasingly seeking comfort and convenience. Travellers with hectic schedules desire some “me time” where they can rest and relax in privacy. This facility offers a perfect place to unwind while transiting through the airport. This facility at the Hyderabad Airport will provide our passengers a space to rejuvenate.”
JPOD is filling a gap in the hospitality industry and setting new standards in airport accommodation by providing an alternative and practical accommodation option that offers good value and convenient pricing without compromising quality, comfort, and experience. As a global trend and growing necessity in India, JPOD caters to the new-age traveller seeking to explore, experiment, and enjoy a new lifestyle with a practical mindset.
JPOD’s design reflects architectural innovation and cultural homage, blending futuristic aesthetics with Hyderabad’s rich heritage. The capsule hotel features smooth edges and arches inspired by the city’s historical monuments. The reception area’s stone floors and arched corridors echo the elegance of Hyderabad’s forts and grand structures. JPOD offers more than just a place to stay; it provides an immersive experience where the past meets the future, creating a memorable stay at Hyderabad Airport.
