After experiencing the pain of searching for a suitable accommodation first hand at a university in the UK, friends Saurabh Arora and Mayank Maheshwari decided to solve this universal problem experienced by students all over the world.
Saurabh says, “Universities provide accommodation to only 25 percent of the total students enrolled. This is due to the limited provision for accommodation at the University. There remains a huge need for safe and affordable student accommodation in most of the university cities across the globe.”
To resolve this gap, Saurabh and Mayank started University Living in January 2015 where they built a platform for international students to discover, compare and book the perfect accommodation for themselves during their University tenure from their native country itself.
Their aim is to foster and empower international students by assisting them in securing safe, secure & value for money accommodation thereby promoting quality international education across the globe. Heading towards their this aim, University Living has currently covered 50+ cities and have 1250+ verified properties which have more than 3,50,000 + beds and have partnered with almost all the biggest Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) providers across the world and boast of a very established close network of Overseas counsellors in Indian Subcontinent.
They have their presence in UK, Australia and Dubai & now are expanding to US and other Global Education Hubs like Canada, Germany etc.
They have been able to assist more than 6,000 international students so far which comprise of 30 percent foreign students and rest native Indian students from across the country.
Saurabh and Mayank assert to have an early mover advantage with their one of a kind start-up which is building a student accommodation platform for the International Students, by the international students and to the International students.
