- One of the most affected business by COVID-19 have been the co-living accommodations which are not only struggling with the tenants’ inability to pay rent, but have to also deal with rising vacancies due to reverse migration. However, some of them have seen this as an opportunity to fuel the need for good quality living in a safe and secure environment.
- "Dwellingo is geared towards the young, 20-something working professional who is interested in a holistic lifestyle experience to unwind. It caters to a younger, tech-minded audience who seek out nightlife and mid-day meditation in the same 24-hour cycle. The seamless app integrates your phone with room access control, energy use, real-time updates, and much more," Rishi Sreedharan, Co-founder of Dwellingo, tells YourStory.
- Dwellingo solves for the fragmented shared-living ecosystem that is underserved by asset-light players with a skin-in-the-game disconnect and little to no focus on UX and product.
