Bengaluru, 2nd August 2021: Colive, India’s leading technology-enabled rental accommodation provider, joins hands with Nilkamal, one of India’s largest furnishing companies, for transforming its co-living properties into hybrid-living accommodations. Through this transformation, Colive aims to enhance its customers’ living experience with plug-and-play homes that provide a hybrid working environment.
Colive also launched a unique concept ‘Bid4Bed,’ wherein prospective tenants will select a property based on their location and sharing preference and simply place a bid/offer that suits his pocket conveniently reducing the traditional long negotiation conversations making the whole process complicated & unorganized. This allows tenants to quote a fair estimate of what they’re willing to pay for a listed hybrid living accommodation. If the bid is approved, the customer is required to pay the remainder and move in. If the bid is rejected, they receive a counteroffer. Alternatively, they can opt out of the bidding process and receive a refund on the initial amount.
The customer can bid either by property or by location basis the price trends in a micro market which will be visible for him/her to take an informed decision. The bids will be notified to all the properties managers & accepted on first cum basis. This reduces the scope of human error and brings in full proof transparency now the sales executive just need to ask customer to make a bid & no need to proof the price point.
“Priceline is considered to be one of the most remarkable success stories in recent years, Priceline is best known for its name-your-own-price that led to its height of success, in which consumers bid for services but not for service providers. Because Priceline serves as an opaque selling mechanism, it attracts price-conscious consumers. This disrupted & revolutionised the way consumer bids & books Airlines, Hotels & Rental cars in the US. Many other organisations use this mechanism & are profitable. Roles of a buyer and seller are exchanged, i.e. sellers which can provide the service at the price mentioned by the buyer wins the auction”.
In a post-pandemic world where work from home is a prominent mode of work and numerous companies, as well as start-ups, are adopting the home-office model, spaces that strike the perfect balance between personal and professional life have become essential.

With standardised facilities like that of a corporate office, having workstations and meeting rooms will allow for professional networking and efficient working. It would increase work efficiency and help professionals to maintain their workflow while being able to save on office rent/buying costs. Lack of oversight/standardisation protocols for landlords leads to tenants feeling powerless. At Colive, bidding solves this problem decisively for tenants.
