Stanza Living, the country’s largest managed accommodation platform, has strategically partnered with Aliste Technologies and installed smart meters across all its properties nationwide. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in Stanza Living’s mission to create fully tech-first managed-living spaces that blend comfort, convenience, and innovation for today’s new-age residents.
Since its inception, Stanza Living has been driven by a single purpose: to reimagine rental living for young migrants seeking better educational and job opportunities away from home. The brand offers high-quality residences, supported by a wide range of services, including daily meals, gyms, laundry facilities, WiFi, community events, and more.
What truly sets Stanza Living apart is its technology-first approach. Community engagement, operations, and maintenance are all powered through the Stanza Living app, creating a seamless experience where technology elevates every layer of a resident’s life. This digital backbone has enabled the brand to differentiate itself consistently and to lead the managed living category with reliable, standardised service delivery.
Aliste Technologies complements this vision as a pioneer in the smart automation and sustainable energy management landscape. In its short existence, Aliste has become one of India’s largest players in coliving energy monitoring, having amassed over 1.5 lakhs IoT assets under active monitoring and control across multiple sectors.
The partnership with Aliste further strengthens Stanza Living’s tech offering by introducing smart electricity management. Through Aliste’s energy management platform, Stanza Living now processes utility payments enabled by 18,000+ smart meters. Furthermore, it provides residents across 400+ properties in 16 cities with a real-time breakdown of their energy usage and monthly bills within the Stanza Living app.
Electricity billing in large shared living spaces has traditionally been complicated, involving multiple residents, manual readings, and time-consuming reconciliations. Through this partnership, Stanza Living now offers a system built for fairness and transparency. Automated meter readings help detect tampering, enable prepaid payments, and prevent operational leakages.
Each resident at a Stanza Living property has full visibility of their electricity usage and costs. And with everything integrated into a single app experience, the entire process becomes seamless and hassle-free. Apart from electricity usage and bill payments, residents also use the Stanza Living app to pay monthly rent, raise service requests, track their laundry, access food menus, and share feedback. This, paired with the layer of comfort and effortless convenience, elevates Stanza Living from a simple coliving into a category-defining managed living platform.
Commenting on the partnership, Anindya Dutta, MD and Co-founder of Stanza Living, said, “At Stanza Living, technology isn’t just an enabler, but a core differentiator. Our collaboration with Aliste Technologies reinforces our vision to transform the co-living experience by integrating advanced tech into everyday living. We’re proud to be the brand in the category, building a truly connected and intelligent ecosystem for our residents.”
Anik Khandelwal, Head of Product at Stanza Living, added, “This partnership marks a meaningful step in how we use technology to empower our residents. Smart meter integration gives them greater transparency and control, while enabling us to drive data-led operational efficiency at scale.”
“Energy can easily turn into the biggest drain on operational budgets if not managed well,” said Konark Gautam, Co-founder of Aliste Technologies. “We’ve seen cases where nearly 20% of a company’s bottom line was lost to inefficiencies, tampering, and billing disputes. Our goal has always been to build tech-first systems that make management seamless for operators and payments effortless for tenants – a belief that’s helped Aliste become the leading utility management company in the country.”
This collaboration is a true testament to Stanza Living’s position as India’s most tech-forward managed living brand, redefining how the next generation experiences shared living through intelligent, scalable, and people-centric innovation.
