Moving away from home brings with it the emotional weight of losing a support system and the added worry about finding that “new nest” which provides a comfortable experience. A place which allows for a warm and friendly environment, has all the amenities, allowing you to do what you have relocated for(study or work) in a peaceful manner. Unfortunately in most cases these requirements come with a high price tag attached in form of exorbitant rents and/or deposit amounts, unreasonable demands from the landlord, or just time consuming search, in an otherwise unorganized market of realestate rentals. “When I first moved to Pune, I was single, excited about my first job and equally nervous about figuring out pretty much everything on my own. A decent place to live was on top of that list. However, the experience of finding a place was harrowing. What fit into my budget wasn’t in the right area, what was a right area didn’t have too many furnished options. When I eventually managed to get a room, landlord became an issue. I had to change far too many places. This experience stayed with me,” recalls, Hrushikesh Shrotriya, Founder & CEO, Bee Urban Co-Living. With the seeds Bee Urban sowed out of personal experience, two friends and colleagues came together to figure out a system, a common platform to address the tediousness of finding a place to live. “We noticed that the problem had intensified over the years and estimated that approximately 14 lakh students and young professionals who come to Pune face the same issues of finding accommodation.

That’s how the idea of Bee Urban was born. A co-living solution that focused on delivering a happy and happening place to live.” Says Namit Agarwal, Co-Founder & Head of Business Development at Bee Urban Co-Living.
