Mission

To simplify and modernize student and co-living accommodation through technology, transparency, and community-driven living experiences.

Vision

To become India's most trusted and scalable student housing and managed living platform.

Our Story

From a problem to a platform.

2024
The problem

A team of ex-students kept hearing the same complaints — broken wifi, surprise rent hikes, mess food gone bad. Finding a PG felt harder than booking a flight.

2024
The idea

Why does PG hunting still rely on brokers, WhatsApp, and luck? We started designing Hostro — not a listings site, but a complete operating system for student housing.

2025
Soft launch

Partnered with 10 PGs in Jaipur. Onboarded Poornima University. First 100 students moved in without a single complaint about hidden fees.

2026
Pan India

Live in 6+ cities. 1,200+ students, 200+ owners, 50+ vendor partners. Building the new standard for student living in India.

Values

What we won't compromise on.

Verified

Every property KYC-checked. Real photos. Real reviews. Real owners.

Scalable
