“We are calling it a portable hotel, we have used discarded containers in an innovative manner, we have made hotel rooms out of it and the entire hotel becomes portable. We don’t require much construction, we only require base supports to place our containers,” Bathwal said.

“As far as the marketing is concerned there is an endless market, because where ever a new industrial cluster is coming up, or where ever there is a tourism destination, where construction is a problem or is restricted because of environmental reasons there we go in,” he added.

The rooms have plush interiors and decor along with top security mechanisms and safe deposit lockers.

Hirise Hospitality Pvt Ltd aims to add 2,000 portable hotel rooms across the country in a span of a year.
