In this era of technological advancements where there is an app for almost everything, managing everyday tasks and communication within student housing facilities or hostels should be a seamless process. However, most hostels and student housing communities follow archaic methods of data management, reporting, maintenance of paper records, and other standard practices. These old school methods result in ineffective and chaotic operations and communication between educators, students, parents and hostel administrators. In addition to this, due to these manual processes, key decision makers at educational institutions do not have the required data driven insights for forward planning, leading to very costly errors and wastage.
SpaceBasic is an AI enabled digital data platform to automate everyday tasks and simplify communication within educational institutions and their student housing communities. SpaceBasic was started with a two fold goal in mind - One, to do away with redundant and time- consuming management processes by automating daily repetitive tasks for educators, administrators and students in student housing communities and hostels. Secondly, to provide educational institutions a mechanism to analyse meaningful data sources to gain actionable insights, leading to cost reductions and streamlined operations.
SpaceBasic was founded in 2017 by Madhavi Shankar and Silicon valley based serial entrepreneur Indu Navar to help educational institutions to automate everyday tasks and communication within their hostels and student housing communities. Headquartered in Los Altos, California, and with an office in Bangalore, SpaceBasic has a highly accomplished founding team with over 60 years of global experience in building and scaling SaaS based enterprises with successful exits. Prior to co-founding SpaceBasic, Indu was the Founder and CEO of Serus Corporation, USA. She has previously worked at NASA in Moffett Field California. On the other hand, Madhavi was named as one of the top 30 women transforming India by Niti Ayog and the United Nations. She was among the top young entrepreneurs of the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 List chosen in the category of enterprise technology. An active advocate of women employment and equal opportunities, Madhavi was also one among the 8 youth leaders chosen for the launch event of UN’s One million Youth leaders event that was held at United Nations Office in Geneva.
