Dehradun has India's densest education hub outside metros — 100+ colleges and universities with around 150,000 students plus growing IT/startup density (with FRI, IIM, ICFAI, and various universities). Student housing is overwhelmingly informal; co-working spaces are limited. A small operator running a co-working facility (50-80 desks) plus an aggregated student-housing service (managing 20-40 furnished properties) captures both segments.
Capex of 18-40 lakh covers co-working fit-out, furniture for housing aggregation, IT infrastructure, and 6 months of working capital. MUDRA Tarun + Stand-Up-India for SC/ST/women entrepreneurs cover the build. Hard parts: managing two operations, building a stable user base of students/freelancers, and price-sensitivity in tier-2 markets. Start with co-working (faster ramp); housing aggregation in year 2.
