India's First Pod Hotel
A private firm in Andheri was the first to introduce the concept of capsule hotels in India in 2017. It is, however, no longer working.
The concept of pod hotels first originated in Japan, where the emphasis was on optimum use of space while providing travellers with affordable and chic accommodation.
