Curated Living Solutions Private Limited, Unveils First Green Field Project in Andhra Pradesh Medtech Zone

Bangalore, December 22, 2023 — Curated Living Solutions Private Limited, A Divyasree Group Alternative Housing Company has inaugurated its first Green Field project in Andhra Pradesh Medtech Zone in Visakhapatnam. The Project comprising 500 beds in 2 Phases has delivered 250 beds built in 50000 SF in a sprawling one-acre campus in Phase 1. The same is inaugurated on the 22nd of December 2023.

The said accommodation is intended for use by both, the employees of the Companies operating out of AMTZ precincts as well as students who enrols in the courses offered by AMTZ. The facility is first of its kind collaboration where the land is allotted by AMTZ on a lease cum sale basis while CLSPL has invested and built the facility to operate it. This is the only housing facility on the AMTZ campus as of today and is part of the ancillary infrastructure that would help in furthering its cause.

Industrial Housing, which is a fairly nascent concept in the Indian context is fast picking up pace considering the support Industrialisation is witnessing from Governments, both State and Centre. Manufacturing Companies would want some or all of their employees living within their campuses for Cost Savings, Efficiency, and Business Continuity reasons. The company intends to seize this opportunity by actively collaborating with Public Sector Undertakings, Industrial Development Corporations, and similar establishments across India.

The Alternative Housing Division of Divyasree Group represented by its Flagship Company Curated Living Solutions Private Limited operates around 10000 beds in India covering Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Dehradun, Durgapur in Co-living, Student Housing, and Industrial Housing Sub Verticals. Their clients include REVA University, Manipal Group, VNRVJIT, DY Patil, and Bajaj to name a few.

The Company has recently acquired a 766-bed Student Housing Accommodation in the Campus of NSHM Academy in Durgapur, West Bengal. The vertical has a healthy 1:1 ratio of Leased beds vs Owned Beds where in the first case, properties are taken on lease and operated while in the latter, buildings are acquired/built to be operated. The MD & CEO of AMTZ Dr. Jitendra Sharma says ”As the newest addition to the AMTZ campus, Ivy League strives to contribute to the campus culture by offering a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and community, fostering an atmosphere that promotes growth, collaboration, and well-being.”

Speaking on the Occasion, Chief Executive Officer Jai Kishan Challa has said, “The idea is to grow to a 50000 Beds operational size while owning at least 25000 Beds across India in the next 5 years. To enable this, we are in the process of creating a platform by raising USD 200 mn to acquire/build Alternative Housing assets in all three sub-verticals, namely Co-living, Student, and Industrial Housing.”

Mr Bhaskar Raju N, Managing Director of Divyasree Group remarked “Considering how Alternative Housing has progressed across developed Economies in the last 30 years, this is one Vertical of Real Estate Business to watch out for in India. This domain is likely to attract significant investments in the near future simply because in Purpose Built Accommodations, Rental yields coupled with services are comparable to Commercial Real Estate”

Gurugram based hair extension and wigs brand Hair Originals has raised around 30 Million (INR-3Cr) in angel investment from marquee investors post its appearance and funding in Shark Tank India. After achieving a series of international milestones and appearing in a business reality series “Shark Tank India”, Hair Originals not only received the funding at the show but also immediately raised a pre-seed round. Expanding its business from a global B2B model, Hair Originals has now launched its D2C online platform; the funding is being channelled towards AR technologies for real-time product experience before purchase, workforce expansion and other back-end developments.

Hair Originals line of products is made from ethically acquired human hair while empowering women from various cities of India who work in this segment.

At the World Hair Congress in France their products were positioned in the luxury segment and received positive remarks by fashion critics; one of France’s renowned celebrity stylists Eric Maurice came on board to be their brand ambassador.

Talking about the journey of Hair Originals and the endeavours ahead Mr Jitendra Sharma mentioned, “After graduating from IIT, I started my career with French Oil Majors and worked across more than 40 countries, it was during this global exposure I realized that the human hair extension and wig segment is a huge global market with India as the epicenter of high-quality and ethical sourced hair. The main efforts then went into science-based research and market analysis. “The overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers across the globe and support from the investors became the driving force in the expansion. With the launch of our D2C platform, our goal is to make our premium products affordable for everyone by cutting the middleman cost. In the upcoming 2 to 2.5 years our aim is to achieve a target of 100 Cr ARR.” he further added.

Their in-house stylists have industry-leading craftsmanship; hence, both their hair products and service come with the guaranteed highest level of quality.
