New Delhi [India], May 5: When Sridhar first moved to Bangalore for his undergraduate studies in Journalism, he carried with him dreams of independence, growth, and a bright future. But like many young students living away from home for the first time, his reality was far from ideal. He faced unclean rooms, unsafe environments, and food that felt like an afterthought rather than nourishment. What was supposed to be a transformative journey ended up being filled with daily discomforts.
But Sridhar didn’t let that bitter experience fade into the background. Instead, it became the spark that would one day lead him to create something exceptional for the next generation of students.
Today, Sridhar is not only an alumnus of IIM Nagpur, having completed his Post Graduate Certificate in Digital Strategy and Marketing Analytics, but he is also the founder of Serenity Hostels — a student-first hostel brand that has redefined what it means to live away from home.
A Hostel Built With the Heart of a Student
From its humble beginnings, Serenity Hostels has grown into a thriving network of 22 buildings across Bangalore, exclusively catering to students. This wasn’t just a business idea — it was a deeply personal mission. Sridhar wanted to give students what he never had: a clean, safe, emotionally supportive, and culturally rich environment to live and learn in.
At Serenity, over 90 percent of residents are students, creating a vibrant, focused, and youthful community. It is a space where students don’t just live — they thrive.
What sets Serenity apart is the intention behind every little detail. From the structure of the buildings to the texture of the food, everything is crafted to give students a sense of home, belonging, and pride.
What Makes Serenity Hostels One of the Best in Bangalore
Serenity is not just known for its infrastructure — it’s known for the experience it offers. Students here are not treated like tenants, but like family.
Here’s why students across Bangalore are choosing Serenity:
* Proximity to Campuses
Serenity buildings are thoughtfully located within walking or short commuting distance from major colleges and universities, making daily travel easy and safe.
* Premium Amenities
With features rarely found in student accommodations — such as swimming pools, jacuzzis, fitness corners, and cozy study areas — Serenity bridges the gap between basic living and premium comfort.
* Home-Cooked, Hygienic Food
One of Serenity’s standout features is its kitchen. Meals are prepared in-house with automated machines to minimize human contact, ensuring high standards of hygiene. Even the bread is baked fresh on site. It’s not just about being clean — it’s about giving students the warmth and familiarity of home-cooked food.
* Safe and Secure Environment
With biometric access, CCTV surveillance, and staff trained to handle student needs, safety is deeply embedded into the culture of Serenity.
* Student-Only Living
Serenity is designed only for students, allowing for a peaceful, focused, and academic-friendly environment free from outside disturbances.
A Cultural Hub That Feels Like Home
But what truly transforms Serenity into a second home is its spirit. Here, students are not just allowed to be themselves — they’re celebrated for it.
Serenity is always buzzing with life. No weekend feels dull, and no festival goes unnoticed. From traditional celebrations to modern community-building events, Serenity has become a cultural hub where students from every corner of India come together to create shared memories.
Some of the most loved events include:
* Ganesh Utsav with music, decor, and traditional rituals
* Onam Celebrations with a grand sadya and pookalam
* Christmas Eve lit with fairy lights, gifts, and community dinners
* Dandiya Nights where students dress up and dance till late
* Musical and Karaoke Evenings for those who love performing
* Premier League Screenings for sports enthusiasts
These moments don’t just entertain — they connect. They help students feel like they’re part of something bigger. They help friendships blossom. And most importantly, they help a faraway city start to feel like home.
A Founder Who Knows What It Feels Like
Sridhar’s strength as a founder comes not just from his education or business acumen, but from his ability to empathize. He’s lived the student life. He’s shared rooms, skipped bad meals, and longed for home. That’s why Serenity isn’t just a product — it’s a promise.
His journey from a struggling student to an IIM Nagpur graduate and successful entrepreneur is inspiring, but it’s his vision that has made the biggest difference. A vision where no student should have to compromise on comfort, cleanliness, or community. Melbin Mathew CEO is also christ university alumni who understand students
Conclusion: Serenity is Not Just a Hostel, It’s a Movement
In a time when student housing often feels transactional, Serenity Hostels has brought heart back into the experience of living away from home. With 22 buildings, a 90 percent student occupancy, an ever-growing event calendar, and a founder who genuinely cares, Serenity isn’t just one of the best student hostels in Bangalore — it’s a benchmark for what student life should feel like.
