As real estate prices rise, and along with it, the cost of living, housing has emerged as one of the major challenges for India. In such a scenario, accommodation at $2 (Rs 133.76) a day, seems practically unachievable. But Chototel, a UK-based startup is geared up to offer just that.

All set to unveil its pilot project on August 15 in Nagothane, Raigad, around 75 km south of Mumbai, Chototel will offer super-budget rental units for travellers as well as industrial workforce with facilities like Wi-Fi, water, gas, electricity and community kitchen on a pay-as-you-use basis.
