Aurus Luxury Student Residences, part of The Hive Hostels ecosystem, has announced plans to cross ₹110 crore in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in the next financial year, up from its current ₹85 crore — underscoring the growing appetite for premium, design-led student accommodation across India’s major education hubs.

Founded by Bharat Agarwal, Aurus is expanding its footprint beyond Mumbai — where it currently operates 800 beds — by adding 300 more beds across Ahmedabad, Noida, Pune, and Bengaluru. The brand aims to redefine student living through a holistic ecosystem that integrates community engagement, wellness programs, and entrepreneurial mentoring via the Hive Future Lab initiative.

“We are on an accelerated growth path and aim to cross ₹110 crore ARR soon,” said Bharat Agarwal, Founder, The Hive Hostels and Aurus Luxury Student Residences. “The student living category in India is evolving from basic accommodation to holistic lifestyle ecosystems that integrate design, technology, and wellbeing. At Aurus, we’re shaping that transformation by delivering premium, community-led spaces that resonate with modern aspirations.”

Building on The Hive Hostels’ success, Aurus Luxury Student Residences currently has 800 beds in Mumbai and will be adding 300 more beds in the coming year across Ahmedabad, Noida, Pune, and Bengaluru — offering design-led, secure, and tech-enabled living spaces near leading educational institutions.

“Students are now discerning consumers — they value aesthetics, community engagement, and mental wellness as much as comfort,” said Rohan Gupta, Chief Marketing Officer, The Hive Hostels and Aurus Luxury Student Residences. “Our aim is to redefine student living through innovation — from wellness programs and fitness zones to entrepreneurial mentoring under the Hive Future Lab initiative.”

“We see strong tailwinds in this sector,” added Agarwal. “With rising enrolments and growing aspirations, Aurus is poised to become India’s most trusted and aspirational student living brand.”
