About Us

At The Hives, we’ve been redefining corporate stays since 2007—offering fully furnished serviced apartments designed exclusively for business travelers. What started with just 7 rooms and 3 esteemed clients—Shapoorji & Pallonji, Chrysler Motors, and Rane Group of Industries—has grown into a trusted accommodation partner for more than 45 corporate clients across Chennai.

With a clear vision to offer a “Home Away from Home” experience, we’ve scaled our operations to 70 fully equipped units, all tailored to meet the evolving needs and budgets of our corporate clientele. From budget-friendly guest rooms to premium apartments, our offerings are crafted to deliver comfort, consistency, and a sense of belonging—without compromise.

FOUNDER

Asha Gopal

Born and raised in Kerala, Asha has an expansive career spanning across decades in the medical and hospitality sectors, with experience in both the Middle East and India. Her career began at CIPLA Bangalore as a B.Pharm graduate, laying the foundation for her passion for service and care.

In 2009, she identified a gap in the OMR region of Chennai, where there were no proper hotels available for corporate accommodation. Seizing this opportunity, she launched The Hives, pioneering the guesthouse and serviced apartment model on OMR Road. The company officially established itself as a leading service provider in December 2010, building strong, lasting relationships with numerous companies in the region.

Philanthropy and Social Impact:
Asha is a firm believer that empowering women through sustainable livelihoods and education can transform communities and create lasting social impact. She is actively leading a Self Help Group (SHG) to support women from underprivileged backgrounds, helping them establish food processing units and create sustainable livelihoods. Her work also extends to the fishing community, where she facilitates marketing support for fisherwomen to enhance their economic conditions.

Through her ongoing "Madras Diner" initiative, she supplies homemade food products across Chennai, providing a platform for local women. In addition, she continues to offer educational and financial assistance to underprivileged students, fostering their growth and development.
