During the year under review, this strategy was supported by strong financial and operational performance. The year was defined by the launch of Keystone, the most significant product overhaul in the Company’s history. At the same time, your Company expanded its inventory portfolio and remains on track to achieve 10,000 keys by FY 2030. With a focus on enhancing guest experience, your Company exited certain resorts based on customer feedback, curated differentiated experiences and integrated AI and technology across multiple touchpoints.
Keystone Launch - Membership Portfolio Revamp
Towards the end of Q3 FY 2026, your Company launched Keystone, replacing the legacy membership construct with a simplified suite of 5/10/15/20-year tenure plans. Each plan is built around a season-mix framework— Off-Peak (Jade), Peak (Ivory) and Super-Peak (Ebony)— providing members with greater flexibility in planning their holidays.
The redesign also rationalised the number of SKUs, making the portfolio easier for sales teams to position and simpler for members to understand. The launch was well received in the market, with early indicators being encouraging. A number of existing members chose to upgrade to Keystone plans during Q4 FY 2026, signalling strong product resonance. Referral-led sales have also started picking up as awareness spreads, contributing to higher sales while supporting improved acquisition costs.
Inventory Expansion
During the year, your Company added approximately 900 gross keys through the launch of seven new resorts and the expansion of five existing resorts, taking total inventory to 6,228 rooms as of 31st March 2026. Your Company currently has three ongoing projects and has initiated development of five additional resorts during the year.
Together with Holiday Club Resorts Oy (“HCR”), comprising 35 resorts and other affiliations, Club Mahindra members now have access to 125 resorts across India, Asia and Europe.
Resort Transformation
Your Company has initiated a comprehensive, multi-year upgrade of its existing resorts. This initiative has already transformed nearly 100 keys and will be extended to an additional 300 keys next year. At the same time, acting on guest feedback, your Company exited approximately 500 keys.
These exits reflect a deliberate shift towards higher-quality resorts that provide differentiated guest experiences. Properties that no longer met brand standards or consistently received adverse customer feedback were phased out.
Guest Experience
Delivering an exceptional guest experience continues to be a top priority. Your Company has leveraged AI and technology by deploying a sophisticated suite of intelligent interventions across the customer lifecycle. Examples include a digital platform for consistent sales presentations, a booking recommendation engine, paperless check-in procedures and an integrated system for capturing customer feedback.
Furthermore, your Company has expanded in-resort offerings by introducing more engaging and curated experiences for different guest segments. From heritage walks and bread-making workshops to private yacht outings and bonfire evenings, these initiatives aim to encourage deeper engagement with each destination.
Your Company has also developed a digital platform that allows members to browse, book and pay for experiences prior to arrival at the resort.
Key Priorities for FY 2027
For the year ahead, your Company’s focus will be on four key priorities:
o Accelerating Keystone sales
o Increasing quality-focused inventory addition
o Curated & engaging experiences across resorts
o Leverage AI and technology across workflows to enhance both guest experience and operational efficiency
