Mayank Pokharna
Founder, Everything Coliving
I've spent 11+ years building, marketing, and scaling coliving businesses. I co-founded SimplyGuest — a coliving company I bootstrapped to $1M ARR with 500+ tenants across 17 locations in Bangalore, maintaining 95% occupancy.
I've led marketing for COHO (UK's leading shared living platform), served as Head of Marketing at Co-Liv (the global coliving association), built 5+ property management systems from scratch, and managed over $2M+ in performance marketing spend across coliving brands.
Through Everything Coliving, I now consult with 60+ operators across 20+ countries, host the coliving industry's leading newsletter (1M+ reads, 112 countries), podcast (16 episodes), and have been featured in Forbes, BBC, Economic Times, and 50+ publications.
