Ritik Gulabrani shared an X post yesterday where he gave a tour of his new flat, which he is renting for ₹ 15,000 per month.
A Bengaluru-based techie says he has managed to find a “budget flat” in Bellandur just a few short months after the co-founder of house renting platform Flent told him that such a thing did not exist.

Last week I got an AC room in a flat for 15k rent in Bellandur itself and 30k deposit,” he wrote on X. Alongside his post, Ritik Gulabrani shared a screenshot of his exchange with Rishabh Agnihotri. Rishabh Agnihotri is the co-founder and CPO of Flent, a rental housing platform that aims to simplify urban renting by providing furnished, move-in ready homes. And 1k to maid. Others marvelled at the Bengaluru techie’s flat, saying he got a good deal. “It’s actually very very good for 15k! Where in Bellandur?” a user asked.
In the interaction that took place in May, Gulabrani asked Agnihotri to find him a flat in Bellandur for ₹ 20,000. The interaction apparently miffed Gulabrani, who yesterday shared that he did manage to find a flat in Bellandur in less than ₹ 20,000 per month as rent.

One person pointed out that Flent offers premium home rentals, which would have been impossible in the ₹ 20,000 budget. “Add 1.5k maintenance.
Because flent offers premium living and charges for that,” the user said, still looks cheaper then Flent, yes that’s.
The co-founder of Flent said that finding a Bellandur flat in that budget would be impossible.
