‘Hostello’ is India’s 1st study-focused housing company.
A brainchild of three alumni of one of India’s prestigious institutes – Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, Hostello provides student housing facilities with a vision to ensure an ‘all-taken care of perfect study environment’ for students studying for competitive exams. Hostello understands how demanding for students the preparation of such exams is, and has attempted to solve for all student housing related pain points such as food, maintenance, security, etc so students could spend more quality hours studying.
A self-owned centralized kitchen run by alumni of IHM, Quick Response Maintenance Teams run by hospitality industry professionals, technology driven security systems, etc. are examples of some of the solutions implemented by Hostello, to ensure students focus only on their studies & their end-to-end housing requirements are taken care of by professional teams.
Hostello plans to scale to 3 Lakh+ beds under its operation by 2024-25.
