In this episode, we sit down at the Independent Hotel Show in Miami with Venkatesh Sakamuri, CEO of Stayflexi, and Krishna Talasila, CIO & Co-Founder of Stayflexi, to explore how they’re transforming hospitality technology. 

Venkatesh introduces Stayflexi IQ, their new AI-powered data intelligence and revenue management platform designed to help independent hotels compete with big brands. He shares insights on the future of AI in hospitality, the importance of demand and competitor intelligence, and why an all-in-one PMS platform enhances the guest journey.

Krishna dives into lessons learned from expanding in India, how Stayflexi scaled to over 3,500 properties worldwide, and why they’re now doubling down in the U.S. market. He also explains how Stayflexi IQ can integrate seamlessly with existing hotel systems, giving hoteliers actionable insights without a complete tech overhaul.

If you’re a hotelier, hospitality professional, or simply interested in the future of hotel tech, AI, and revenue management, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.
