Introduction:
The changing landscape of modern-day consumers is looking for effective residential
solutions.
The main factors that motivate students and millennials to commit to a co-living model are
that it helps in higher savings, mitigating the issues around the discovery of a house
with decent infrastructure, the high setup costs like brokerage and high-security
deposit, unnecessary regulations, and fluctuating rents.
Urban loneliness has become a global phenomenon so Coliving spaces provide them a
platform and opportunity to have human interaction within their vibrant community.
The overall coliving segment will continue to see strong growth due to the ever-increasing
pricing of rental real estate in prime locations. It is further driven by demographic
expansion and Tier 3 / Tier 2 to Tier 1 city urban movement. As per research by JLL,
India’s co-living market is expected to increase at a strong CAGR of 17% in the next five
years to expand to a nearly Rs 1 trillion market.
Can co-living solve the affordable housing shortfall in almost all major Indian cities? Can it
be a sustainable tool for creating integrated community living with better social capital and
higher trust levels?
Need for coliving spaces in India:
• 34% of the population is in the 18-37 years age group

• 36.6 million students in the country
• Increasingly the young working age group (21-40 yrs) is showing willingness and
opting to migrate to newer locations/ cities for work
•Technology, community & social engagement and lifestyle experience across the three
planes of work, leisure and accommodation are driving the development of new formats of
oce and stay India demographics
• 28% of urban households stay in rental housing
• Non-standard, unorganized and low-quality services and facilities for co-living
(PGs/dorms/hostels) Urban rental housing

“ India is home to one of the youngest populations in the world, and the share of the 15-
34-year age band is likely to remain above 30% even in the next decade. With an
urbanization rate of2.3%, close to 35% of its population lives in these areas. Considering
the age bracket, this category will be in the initial years of career growth. This means that
they will prefer rental accommodation over purchasing real estate. Big cities like
Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai are evolving day by day attracting
students and freshers from remote areas of India to come out and be a part of this trendy
world. “
