What we stand for

The principles behind PGTribes

Three commitments that shape every decision we make.

Verified by us

No automated listing scrape — every PG passes a physical site visit and owner KYC.

No brokerage. Ever.

Tenants pay nothing to find a PG. Owners pay nothing to list. We earn from optional add-ons.

Tenant safety first

SOS, face-recognition entry, visitor logs and verified roommates — safety isn't an upsell.

Our story

From renting struggles to a platform

The problem

Finding a PG in a new city meant paying brokers a month's rent, touring fake listings, and signing opaque agreements. Owners juggled rent collection, complaints and tenant verification across WhatsApp and Excel.

What we built

A two-sided platform: tenants get verified PGs, 360° room tours, AI matching and online payments. Owners get a full operations suite — tenants, beds, rent, staff, complaints, and analytics in one place.

Where we're going

From a marketplace to the operating system for every co-living and PG operator in India — covering deposits, insurance, food, laundry and community in a single tenant app.

How we got here

Big moments on the road to ending PG brokerage.

    First 100 verified PGs

    Site-visited every single one. Built the tenant app and the owner dashboard side-by-side.

  3. Q1 '25

    360° tours, AI roommate matching

    Rolled out drag-to-look-around room tours and the AI that pairs you with people on your shift and food preferences.

    30+ cities, 50,000+ tenants

    Live across India with a full ops suite for owners — rent automation, complaints, staff, expenses, all in one place.
