Shubha Lal, co-founder and COO of the company, told the media that the funding will enable them to strengthen their position in a crowded and competitive market. It offers the firepower they need to keep delivering high-quality global service at scale.

The cash will be used to expand the company, with an emphasis on metros and tier I cities. A portion of the funding will be used to bolster and keep the core staff.

Your-Space now operates over 7,000 beds in nine cities, with ambitions to expand to over 20,000 beds by July 2022 for the upcoming academic year 2022-2023.

The country's major vaccination effort, as well as the gradual reopening of schools, is likely to help hostels and PGs generate some money.
