Settl has come as a disruption by working on the concept of co-living. They employ technology to provide a living space that is in accordance with the taste and lifestyle of the young working professionals. 

 

Currently operating in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Gurugram, Settl offers multi-city and multi-location living spaces and the demand for such managed rented homes is rising with the changing patterns in the working conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
