Affordable Rental Housing Proposition Positioning Study (Urban India)
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India housing platform wanted to understand how young salaried renters , migrant workers , and newly married households compared managed rental homes, shared accommodation, and peripheral ownership before refining proposition language and acquisition priorities.
WHAT WE DID
We ran a structured online survey across six cities, capturing monthly housing budgets , commute tolerance , tenure preferences, household composition, payment security concerns, and response to alternative value propositions among active rental searchers.
