Student housing startup Stanza Living to soon launch office in Hyderabad

Student housing start-up Stanza Living will soon launch an office in Hyderabad. The company has a presence in Bangalore, Pune, Indore and Chennai.

Stanza Living is also planning to hit 1000 employees by the end of the year.

In the last quarter, the company increased its headcount from 250 to 750. It is focusing on hiring for the consumer experience, operations excellence and technology teams.

Stanza Living has roped in five new vice-presidents in the last year in finance, real estate, customer experience, supply chain and procurement; and marketing and consumer engagement.

In July 2019, the company had raised an estimated $50 million.

Anindya Dutta, MD and Co-Founder, Stanza Living, said, “The key challenge before us is to set cost-efficient, consumer-focused operating templates in a sector that hasn’t witnessed any fundamental innovation. Another focus, as a growth-start-up, is to ensure the delivery of seamless consumer experiences, at scale. Our hiring strategy aims to build an agile, fast-actioning team of multi-sector experts who can keep pace with our growth story.”

“The senior leadership team at Stanza Living brings a ‘Balance of Experiences’ – young and experienced professionals from some of the leading new-age businesses and large traditional brands like Flipkart, Zomato, PayU, Airtel, Grofers, Future Retail, Snapdeal and more – who are shaping India’s largest student accommodation company,” Dutta further added.
