We’re proud to share that Hooliv was featured on Indian Startup News following a major milestone in our journey — successfully raising ₹24 crore (approx. $2.7 million) in a Pre‑Series A funding round led by Negen Capital, with participation from institutional investors, family offices, and angel backers.
The article highlights how this funding will fuel Hooliv’s expansion into non‑metro cities, enabling strategic bed acquisitions, enhanced brand‑building efforts, and further development of our proprietary property management platform — supporting better student living experiences across India.
What else the coverage mentions:
- Hooliv’s vision to replicate its business model internationally in the coming years as part of long‑term growth plans.
- The company’s mission to bridge the demand‑supply gap in India’s organized student housing sector — driven by the rising number of universities, colleges, and coaching hubs across the country.
- Founded in 2019 by Chinmoy Mishra, Abhishek Verma, Gaurav Vij, and Rasmi Mishra, Hooliv focuses on purpose‑built student accommodations combining real estate operations with tech‑enabled services.
- Since inception, the platform has served thousands of students across multiple locations and continues scaling to meet growing student housing needs
