Student Housing Faces A Major Shift: Why Organised Campus Accommodation Could Grow 
DESC: The Satya Niketan incident has renewed attention on safety, security and quality standards in student accommodation. The discussion highlights concerns around unlicensed and informal PG-style housing and the need for professionally managed accommodation options. Narasimha Jayakumar, CEO, Elevate Campuses, explains why the company has focused on on-campus student housing, citing safety, security, compliance and service quality as key advantages. With India’s student accommodation market remaining fragmented and underserved, more universities could look at organised operators to expand housing capacity within campuses. The conversation also explores how changing campus needs could create opportunities for professionally managed student accommodation providers as the sector evolves.
