Find your next PG, room, or property—without the usual runaround.
Arukil connects students, working professionals, and families with curated stays and real estate listings—on a map, in your language, with clear pricing and a path to verified owners.
The problems people actually face
And how Arukil solves them
"I'm new in the city and don't know what's really nearby."
Pain: Endless broker calls and listings that aren't close to campus or work.
Solution: Location-aware home and a Nearby map show PGs and properties around you, with distance-based discovery—not just random city names.
"Listings look good in photos, then everything changes on visit."
Pain: Missing amenities, unclear rules, surprise deposits.
Solution: Rich PG detail—room types and counts, food/Wi‑Fi/AC/CCTV/power backup and more, meal options, house rules, negotiable rent, deposit, and advance—so you compare apples to apples before you call.
"I waste hours scrolling the same junk."
Pain: No way to narrow PGs by budget, type, or who can stay.
Solution: Search plus filters—property type (PG, hostel, single/double room, apartment, studio), gender allowed, and monthly price range—so you only see what fits.
"I need a flat or plot, not just a PG."
Pain: Switching between apps and brokers for rent, sale, or lease.
Solution: A dedicated Real estate area for categories like houses, apartments, villas, plots, land, and commercial—sale, rent, or lease—with specs, areas, and map-friendly locations.
"I don't trust random numbers from the internet."
Pain: Scams and unverified owners.
Solution: Unlock-to-contact so serious seekers connect with intent; owner-side KYC and legal document flows support trust badges and compliance-minded listings.
"Owners get hundreds of casual calls, zero real leads."
Pain: Time lost on tyre-kickers; no idea what's working.
Solution: Owner dashboard with visibility into unlocks/leads, tools to manage listings, promote a listing, and publish with secure Razorpay payments—so marketing spend and listing fees are trackable.
"I miss out when prices drop or something gets hot."
Pain: Static apps that never pull you back.
Solution: Push notifications (Firebase-backed) and an in-app notification center with unread counts—built for alerts that bring people back at the right moment.
"English-only apps don't work for my family."
Pain: Parents or users who prefer regional languages.
Solution: Onboarding language selection and i18n coverage across multiple Indian languages so discovery isn't limited to one locale.
