What Happened to Homversity After Shark Tank India?
What is Homversity?
Homversity is a smart digital housing platform that helps students find their ideal hostel/accommodation during their college or university time.
When a student comes to the city for education purposes, he faces a lot of challenges in finding proper accommodation. There are many problems associated with this.
There aren’t enough options for students to choose from. The hostels are mostly unhygienic. The food you’ll get in these hostels isn’t up to the mark. Once you book a place, there’s no refund policy in case you don’t like the place.
Homversity is single-handedly solving all these problems for students. There are no brokerage fees or hidden fees in Homversity.
