Flatchat App Makes Finding Roommates & Flats Super Easy
Moving to a new town and worried about finding a good accommodation? Worry not; this new networking app “Flatchat” will help you finding flat mates in your preferred location.
Reports say that the youth tops the immigrant population in India. Many Indian youths are migrating to cities for higher education and employment reasons. A research paper on this: ‘Internal Migration for Education and Employment among Youth in India’ shows that during the last 10 years, around 37 lakh students migrated within India for higher education and nearly 1crore youth followed the same route in search of job opportunities. And most of them are facing hardships in finding good accommodation near their college/office. It is not just finding places, but getting good flat mates is also a big head ache for many youngsters who are moving out.
The newly launched networking app called “Flatchat” is designed to help you in finding out desired flat mates in the location you prefer. Flatchat is currently available in cities like Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, etc. With this app, now you need not try out locating groups in Facebook or other social media to find out flats and accommodation in cities. The app offers a personal “Flatchat assistant”, a single point contact for any flat related assistance, apart from its option for chatting with ‘matches’ (ie, people matching your requirement). The FlatChat assistance offers personal help for home seekers in cities, by sending matching flats/ accommodation facilities available as paying guests, shared accommodation, hostels etc in the locations of your preference.
Flatchat is launched by the Mumbai based website called Flat.to, which has been providing accommodation assistance for students and bachelors online. Flat.to is now acquired by Commonfloor.com, India’s leading real estate portal. Mentioning about CommonFloor’s strategy, Sumit Jain, Co-Founder and CEO of Commonfloor mentioned that the acquisition of Flat.to will fill the gap in their platform- bachelor’s accommodation. There is a huge demand in the bachelor / student accommodation category in India, but very little has been offered to cater the needs.
The official launch of the app was made on October 18th 2014. Flatchat is available at Google Play store now and will be soon offered in iOS.
