She has stayed in such facilities possibly 25 years back. And, to her amazement, not much has changed over the years. She recalls grumbling about bad infrastructure, a lack of hygiene, limited dining options, and a lack of safety, security, and privacy, among other things. With rising student mobility and enrollment ratios, an increasing number of students are leaving their families to pursue higher education. There has never been a decrease in demand. As a result, these hostel/PG owners never really had an intent to invest in the upgrade and upkeep of their assets as they never really had to struggle to fill the beds. And for the poor students, since all the assets in a locality are of the similar quality, they have no other option but to compromise on their quality of living. Plus, there are always rent escalations every year. All these difficulties and student pain points inspired her to create Hooliv. They are revolutionizing the student housing sector by offering students a new type of coliving in which they not only share a roof but also a set of interests, values, and objectives.
