The transaction, executed through Yanolja Cloud Solution (YCS), accelerates Yanolja’s expansion into the global enterprise hospitality sector.

InnKey provides a unified platform that integrates front office, food and beverage (F&B), purchase and procurement, financial accounting, and guest engagement, supporting more than 500 hotels across India. The acquisition strengthens Yanolja’s ability to support multi-property hotel groups with integrated solutions that streamline operations and enhance guest experience at scale.

“InnKey was built to unify hotel operations on a single platform and help operators manage increasing complexity as they scale,” said Viral Shah, Founder & CEO, InnKey. “Joining Yanolja allows us to bring that capability to a broader global customer base, supporting larger, multi-property hotel groups across new markets.”

Through this evolution, operations will achieve unprecedented efficiency and reduce manual work, enabling staff to focus entirely on what matters most, the guest experience.” 

The acquisition builds on an existing partnership and positions InnKey for expansion into the Middle East and Southeast Asia, with no disruption to existing customers or ongoing projects.
