Partner with Grihum in Patna

Own the building. Grihum runs the coliving. Profit-share only — no franchise fee, no retainer, no monthly minimum. Patna, Bihar.

Why Patna

Patna combines a long-standing university population with one of India's largest exam-coaching ecosystems. The result is year-round demand from students who have moved cities specifically to study — and who currently have very few good places to live.

We are looking for partners with buildings or land near the Boring Road and Patliputra corridors.

• Coaching demand runs on its own calendar, so occupancy is less tied to the academic year than in a pure university city.
• Students here are often first-time movers from smaller towns in Bihar, with families who care intensely about safety and food — Grihum's two strongest cards.
• A very large share of existing accommodation is informal. Professional operation is a genuine differentiator rather than a marginal upgrade.
• Strong demand specifically for women-only accommodation, which is the format we operate best.

This isn't a franchise

A typical hostel franchise charges a fee upfront and a royalty on revenue whatever the profit, and you still hire and manage the staff. Grihum takes no franchise fee, no joining fee and no retainer, runs the entire team itself, and earns only a share of profit — while you keep 100% ownership of the asset.
