How are people finding flatmates in Mumbai now apart from WhatsApp groups honestly?
Every group I join is either:old posts, brokers everywhere
,random people DMing or someone replying “available?” to a 2 month old listing 😭
Finding the actual flat feels easier than finding normal people to move in with at this point.
Let me know if you have any suggestions yall
Posted here a few days ago about how messy flatmate hunting is, WhatsApp groups, random people, no replies.
It’s still the same.
So I built something for it.
Think of it as hinge but for flatmate finding
Dwelo just went live helps you find flatmates based on lifestyle, budget and preferences instead of random matching.
You can:
- find flatmates
- post vacancies
- filter based on compatibility
Also giving a free 7-day trial for early users. As it’s what this subReddit deserves
Also attached a peek of the app 👀
Would love feedback if you’re currently searching.
When I moved to Mumbai. I spent 3 weeks in WhatsApp groups trying to find a flatmate. It was chaos. Brokers, random people, zero way to know if you’d actually get along with someone or even have the same preferences.
Nobody’s built anything real for this in India. So I did.
Dwelo is flatmate matching for Mumbai. Not just location and budget but actual compatibility. Sleep schedule, lifestyle, cleanliness, schedule (even Indian specific things which people care about like veg/nonveg and religion)Free, no brokers, verified profiles.
Think of it as hinge but for flatmate finding.
Solo build. Landing page is live at dwelo.in, app is almost done.
Not my first rodeo — previously built Snipp which hit 1000 users before shutting down. Know how to build. Distribution in a hyperlocal market is the new puzzle I’m solving.
Would love advice from anyone who’s cracked this in India. Also open to people excited about this space who want to get involved.
If you’re in Mumbai and have felt this pain — https://dwelo.in/ , waitlist is open.
Also open to talking to people who get this problem and want to get involved whether that’s building, growth, or just obsessed with the Mumbai rental market.
