Besides traditional PGs and hostels, the students of DU are now opting for many tech-driven and modern student housings. Startups like Coho, Nest Away, Oyo Living etc. provide safe and modern accommodation for these students.
A major concern of students who come from different parts of the country to enrol themselves in the University of Delhi (DU) is the availability of furnished, modern, and safe accommodation. Finding proper housing for such students has become easier now as in the recent years some organised and modern methods of accommodation have come up apart from the traditional forms of hostels, shared apartments, and paying guests (PG).
Due to digitalisation, the hostel and PG industry are witnessing the birth of some startups like Oyo Living, Coho, Stanza Living, and Nest Away that have changed the way hostels and PGs operate and have become extremely popular among students. They provide proper accommodation to students while allowing the parents to keep an eye on their children, thus providing a safe house to them.
