How it all begun?

Parikshit, alumni of IIT Bombay, had lots of troubles finding a good flat to stay. He spent his free times after work with builders, agents, and singles and learned that the housing societies in Hyderabad the house owners were reluctant to rent out flats to a bachelor.

As a solution, bachelors either have to stay in the outskirts or stay as a paying guest. These insights swayed Parikshit to begin his start-up in the field of property management. July 2016 marked the beginning of his new start-up who was joined by the co-founder Abhimanyu Singh in August 2016.
