Hey r/hyderabad! 👋

I'm Jagadish, a developer from Hyderabad. I got frustrated with the whole flat hunting process — broker calls, OLX spam, random WhatsApp forwards — so I built flatnest.in

It's a free platform specifically for IT professionals finding flatmates and rooms in Kondapur, Madhapur, Gachibowli and Hitech City corridor.

✅ Zero brokerage

✅ AI-powered matching based on lifestyle preferences

✅ Direct connect — no middlemen

✅ Built for Hyderabad's IT crowd

We already have 120 users and 33 listings with 95 interests sent — people are actively finding flatmates on it.

Now trying to reach more people who are actively hunting for flats. If you're part of any active WhatsApp groups for flat/room hunting in Hyderabad, would really appreciate if you could share the link or add me 🙏

Also happy to hear any feedback or suggestions — still early stage and improving fast!

At this point finding a flat in Hyderabad genuinely feels harder than clearing interviews sometimes 😅

You finally find a decent listing and then:

→ broker asks one month commission

→ owner wants 3 months deposit

→ flat looks nothing like photos

→ “semi furnished” means 1 fan + tube light

→ rents touching 30k+ for average 2BHKs

→ random flatmate drama waiting after move-in 😭

And somehow every owner says: “many people are waiting bro”

Especially around: Madhapur

Kondapur

Gachibowli

Financial District

Feels like normal middle-class renting near IT areas is becoming impossible now.

What has been your worst flat hunting experience in Hyderabad?

Hey everyone 👋

I recently started building FlatNest in Hyderabad after struggling with broker spam, fake listings and random WhatsApp groups while flat hunting.

The idea is basically: → verified listings → compatible flatmate matching → less spam/broker chaos

Still super early, but seeing decent response from Hyderabad renters so far.

Wanted honest thoughts from Bengaluru folks:

Do you think people here would actually use something like this?

Or are existing Facebook/WhatsApp/NoBroker systems already enough for Bengaluru renters?

Curious because Bengaluru rental struggles honestly seem even crazier sometimes 😭

Was casually checking rents around Madhapur, Kondapur and Gachibowli recently and some owners are quoting absolutely wild prices now.

Half the flats only seem affordable if 3–4 people share together 😅

And decent 1BHKs near office areas are becoming difficult to find without spending a huge chunk of salary.

Anyone else feel Hyderabad rents have increased way too much in the last couple of years?

I’m building FlatNest, a Hyderabad-focused platform for rentals/flatmates, and talking to renters to understand real pain points.

What frustrates you most when house hunting here?

Examples:

Broker spam?

Fake listings?

Bad flatmates?

WhatsApp group chaos?

High deposits?

Would love to hear honest experiences — trying to build something genuinely useful for Hyderabad renters.

Hey !

I got tired of WhatsApp spam

when looking for flatmates

in Kondapur last year.

So I built flatnest.in

It's free. AI-powered. No broker.

Been live 5 days. 31 users so far.

Would love honest feedback

from this community!

What's missing?

What would make you use it?
