Site: https://www.flatmates.co.in
Brand: Flatmates.co.in
Country: India
Category: House, apartment, room, and roommate / flatmate matching (peer-to-peer, zero brokerage)

## One-sentence summary

Flatmates.co.in helps people in Indian metro cities find a house, apartment, room, or compatible roommate with zero brokerage, lifestyle matching, and private in-app chat.

## Problem solved

Searches like “house for rent”, “apartment for rent”, “room for rent”, “place to rent”, and “roommate” in India usually land on broker portals and Facebook groups that leak phone numbers. Flatmates.co.in structures listings so people shortlist fit (diet, gender preference, WFH, washroom) before chatting.

## Core features

1. Three listing modes
   - Share a room in a pre-occupied home
   - Seeker profile: looking for a room / roommate
   - Owner: entire house or 1/2/3 BHK apartment
2. Lifestyle matrix: gender preference, diet (veg / eggetarian / non-veg / Jain), smoking, drinking, occupation, schedule (WFH / office / night), pets, guests, washroom, room type, furnishing
3. Compatibility score with green matches and amber warnings
4. Private in-app chat (phone hidden)
5. Map browse and locality hubs
6. Core matching stays free. Paid boosts are paused until listings earn replies.
