Stanza Living has raised $57 million ( ₹425 crore) in debt financing led by Kotak Mahindra Bank and RBL Bank. Existing lender Alteria Capital also participated in the round. The proceeds will be used to fund capital expenditure for Stanza Living’s current and future projects and accelerate its next phase of multi-city expansion.

It will provide us with ammunition to deliver a higher return on equity and continue aggressively scaling our operations across the country,” said Anindya Dutta, managing director and co-founder, Stanza Living.
