Ritik Gulabrani found an air-conditioned room in a flat for Rs 15,000 a month with a Rs 30,000 security deposit by using a Facebook group that directly connects tenants and landlords.
Ritik was previously mocked by Rishabh Agnihotri, the co-founder and CPO of Flent, when he inquired about finding a flat in Bellandur's Green Glen Layout for under Rs 20,000. Flent is a rental housing platform that specializes in premium, move-in-ready homes.
