In a country where cities grow faster than the homes to fill them, three institutions have pooled $100 million to reimagine how India's urban migrants and young professionals find a place to live. Colive, Bain Capital, and Sattva Group have formed a dedicated rental housing platform — a signal that institutional capital is beginning to treat shared living not as a stopgap, but as a durable asset class. The arrangement reflects a quiet but consequential shift in how India's real estate economy is being reordered around renters rather than owners.
