RoomPe Pvt Ltd

What RoomPe Pvt Ltd does

RoomPe Pvt Ltd is a B2B student housing management company headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, founded in 2020 by co-founders Deval Patel and Satya Mehta. The company partners with universities and colleges to operate student hostels through two engagement models: Full Management (turnkey asset management where RoomPe leases hostel infrastructure from institutions and delivers guaranteed fixed rental yields with zero operational burden) and Tech-Powered Operations (institutions retain ownership while leveraging RoomPe's technology platform, trained hospitality staff, and ISO-grade SOPs). The company currently serves 5 educational institutions across Gujarat — Darshan University, Nirma University, and Navrachana University among them — managing 1,000+ beds across 5 campuses and targeting institutions with 60-bed to 600-bed hostels.

The company's technology stack consists of a proprietary mobile application (RoomPe App) for students and a web-based analytics dashboard for institutional administrators. The RoomPe App provides digital room allocation, smart maintenance ticketing with SLA tracking, automated laundry pickup/delivery notifications, biometric gate pass management, and 24/7 CCTV integration. The institution-facing dashboard delivers real-time occupancy data, student analytics, and automated billing. The technology is purpose-built for student housing operations rather than leveraging AI/ML capabilities, and the company does not disclose any artificial intelligence, machine learning, or predictive analytics features. The platform is delivered as part of the managed services engagement with no separate SaaS pricing disclosed.

RoomPe operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market motion with direct enterprise outreach to educational institutions, supported by partner referrals from its existing 5 institutional clients. The company generates revenue through multi-year managed services contracts, with pricing structured around guaranteed fixed rental income for institutional clients rather than direct student-facing pricing. The company is bootstrapped, profitable, and debt-free as of 2024, with reported ₹1Cr+ (~USD $120K) bootstrapped ARR — though the company website claims "$1M+ Bootstrapped ARR," a discrepancy that may reflect gross transaction value versus net management spread. Geographic focus is Western India (six Gujarat cities: Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara, Rajkot, Surat, Bhavnagar), with a stated 2025 roadmap for pan-Gujarat expansion to 2,000 beds and entry into Corporate Accommodations, Residential Schools, and Co-living verticals.

The service is enabled by a proprietary mobile app ecosystem (RoomPe App) for students and a live analytics dashboard for institutional administrators, covering digital room allocation, maintenance ticketing, laundry tracking, gate pass/security, and automated billing.
