Moving into a new city comes with its own set of hardships, and finding the right place to call ‘home’ can be a daunting task. With a huge amount of brokerage, deposits, denials, and untimely eviction, finding a PG or a place on rent becomes a challenging job.

To solve this predicament, a duo from IIT Guwahati, Madhurjya Bora and Gitartha Kashyap, decided to develop an application in 2019 under their startup, Magitech Innovision that could serve as a one-stop solution for searching and booking rented houses and PG accommodations sans any broker interference.

Allay, unlike any other application, helps users choose from numerous options listed on the app from the comfort of their homes without having to worry about brokerage or any registration fee. One can browse through and check photos of listed properties without personally approaching every property owner. In addition, the users can earn referral points. On crossing the threshold points, they can avail discounts and get cashback on the rental property. Points can also be collected each time rent is being paid through the app.

A year after the launch of the application in 2020, the startup encountered the latest need for quarantine facilities in hotels during the second wave of the pandemic. While helping the patients find quarantine facilities in the hotels, the startup founders decided to expand their services to hotels, resorts and homestays as well. Magitech Innovision formally launched this new range of services last week at Assam Startup – The Nest.

With its operations slowly getting a grip in Guwahati, Tezpur, Dibrugarh and Delhi, Magitech Innovision has successfully clocked a revenue of Rs. 7.5 Lakh from April to October this year.

Allay is currently available on Google Play Store.
