The proposed platform will focus on the development, ownership, and long-term operation of institutional-grade rental housing assets across major urban centres in India. The partnership aims to address the rising demand for professionally managed rental accommodation driven by rapid urbanisation, workforce mobility, and increasing student migration.

India’s rental housing market is undergoing a structural shift, with growing preference for organised and institutionally owned rental formats over fragmented individual ownership. The HDFC Capital–CLS platform intends to capitalise on this transition by creating scalable, high-quality rental housing portfolios catering to students, young professionals, and migrant workers.

CLS currently manages more than 13,000 beds across co-living, student housing, and worker accommodation segments and brings strong development and operational expertise to the platform. The partnership will combine CLS’s on-ground execution capabilities with HDFC Capital’s long-term capital and institutional investment approach.

Commenting on the development, Vipul Roongta, CEO of HDFC Capital, said that India’s urban rental housing segment is at an inflection point due to a young, mobile population. He added that rental housing plays a critical role in enhancing economic mobility, particularly for students, professionals, and migrant workers, and that CLS and the DivyaSree Group have demonstrated strong governance and execution capabilities.

Bhaskar Raju, Promoter of Curated Living Solutions and the DivyaSree Group, highlighted that the platform will focus on developing and owning high-quality rental housing assets with emphasis on safety, functional design, and sustainability. Jai Challa, CEO of Curated Living Solutions, noted that the partnership would enable CLS to significantly scale its operations and expand its presence across key Indian urban markets.

The initiative aligns with broader policy and investor interest in rental housing as a core asset class, alongside office, residential, and logistics, and reinforces the growing role of institutional capital in shaping India’s housing ecosystem.

Expanding the Boundaries of Alternate Asset Class Hospitality

Truliv plans to leverage the capital infusion to diversify into emerging hospitality verticals like holiday homes, retirement living, and nature-centric stays, while simultaneously scaling its core co-living offerings across new Indian cities. The company is aiming for ₹200 crore in annual revenue over the next three years, driven by a capital-efficient, asset-light growth model.

Co-founder Rohit Reddy emphasized that the partnership with BCCL is a strong endorsement of Truliv’s mission.

“This is more than capital — it’s category validation. Truliv was founded on the belief that urban India needed a new model of living — one that blends affordability with aspiration,” Reddy said. “We’re designing intelligent, flexible living ecosystems that resonate with a generation that values mobility, community, and seamless experiences.”

Profitability with Purpose

Founded in 2019, Truliv has maintained a unique edge in the real estate-hospitality interface by being both profitable and capital-efficient — a rarity in a sector often characterized by aggressive cash burn. With over 80% promoter ownership and just $2 million in initial funding, the company has demonstrated disciplined, sustainable growth.

Co-founder and Managing Director Ranjeeth Rathod added:

“We’ve shown that it’s possible to grow profitably, with purpose and discipline, in a space long dominated by burn-heavy strategies. This strategic investment will allow us to deepen our tech stack, expand our institutional partnerships, and continue building human-centric housing experiences.”

A Strategic Media Partner

The collaboration with BCCL, India’s largest media conglomerate, offers more than just capital. According to Srini Vudayagiri, President & Head of Brand Capital, the synergy will be instrumental in brand amplification and strategic growth.

“Truliv represents the future of urban living — scalable, sustainable, and aligned with the evolving needs of a new generation. Brand Capital is proud to partner with Truliv to accelerate their vision.”

Looking Ahead

As India’s housing landscape evolves, Truliv is positioning itself at the forefront of a new category — one that bridges real estate efficiency with lifestyle flexibility. Whether it’s the growing tribe of mobile professionals, digital nomads, or retiring baby boomers looking for modern community living, Truliv aims to meet their needs with thoughtful design, tech-first operations, and a scalable business model.

With this investment, Truliv is not only gearing up for national expansion but also laying the foundation for a multi-generational, lifestyle-driven housing revolution in India.
