Appraisals, corporate offsites, team-building activities… It's that time of the year again. And if you’re planning on doing something ‘out of the box’ with your work fam, SaffronStays has something for you. Introducing their corporate vertical - SaffronStays for Corporates - the initiative is tailor-made for intimate group gatherings, ‘workations’, strategic meetings, rewarding your employee’s family, among several other reasons. Choose from over 130+ private vacation homes located at drive-to distances from major metro cities and establish a better bond with your colleagues beyond the boardroom. Every SaffronStays home offers privacy, exclusive spaces to bond better including private pool, sprawling lawns, gazebos, board games and so on. With caretakers and in-home cooks, the fully staffed and managed homes ensure guests have a smooth, hassle-free experience. Whether it’s closing deals over delicious home-cooked meals and barbeque, thinking out loud in the lawns, welcoming new employees at a gorgeous retreat with stunning views or engaging your employees’ families with a fun poolside bash, SaffronStays’ idyllic homes are the perfect picks. Speaking about the initiative, Devendra Parulekar, founder, SaffronStays, says, “At company offsites in hotels, employees get spread out over large spaces and people usually end up hanging out with the same people they hang out with at work. Over the years, business needs, functioning and rewarding has changed. There are smaller, more intimate corporate getaways for which our homes are perfect. They are instrumental in revolutionising the way corporates function. What they need is WiFi and the facility to have small break-away sessions.” Talking about how it is money ‘wise’, founder Tejas Parulekar says, “Smaller and medium-sized groups, run by millennials, are making smarter financial decisions. They don't want to block their balance sheet by buying/leasing company guest houses. They prefer spending on experiences by renting out private vacation homes instead.” She adds, “In the past decade, corporates latched on to "team-building" leadership camps where they forced their employees out of their comfort zone to participate in activities, which seemed forced and superficial. This included going for treks, building your own tents, blind drawing, etc among others. Now, all they want to do is unwind and have informal interactions. We have had stand-up comedians doing a gig, karaoke and DJ nights and projector-by-the-pool presentations at our homes in the past.”
