It’s 8 pm and Cafe Mamaliga at Tribe is brimming with activity and good smelling food as students start filtering in for their dinner. An international style hostel, Tribe was started in April by Yogesh Mehra in Pune with an investment of 8 crore. With properties in Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru, it offers the residents air-conditioned and plush single occupancy or twin sharing rooms with en-suite bathrooms. With every small detail such as a 24-hour in-house cafe, study areas, a fitness centre, laundry facilities and entertainment zones taken care of, Tribe ensures that students don’t have to deal with these every day hassles. The properties are secure and have keyless and cashless campuses under CCTV surveillance 24x7. The access is only through biometric systems and personalised RFID Bands.
