Founded in 2015 by Deepak Dhar, Jitendra Jagadev, Amarendra Sahu, and Smruti Parida, NestAway provides affordable rental solutions to individuals. In February this year, NestAway also announced the launch of its incubation programme, NestAwayStartup Lab.
As a part of this launch, the company partnered with startup accelerator, Excubator for the six-month incubation programme.
The co-living space in India is heating up with more and more players including Stanza Living, Colive, University Living, OxfordCaps and others, crowding the space and trying to solve the problem for various demographics.
Hospitality unicorn OYO, in October 2018 launched, OYO LIFE, targeting millennials and young professionals in search of fully managed homes on long-term rentals at affordable prices.
While OYO LIFE doesn’t have a sub-category focusing on students yet, however, a notable chunk of its residents are students, which puts it in direct competition with specialist players in the student co-living space.
