Bengaluru, India, 8th July 2026: Emversity, India’s leading industry-skilling partner to universities, has announced a strategic partnership with Stanza Living, India’s largest managed accommodation platform, to strengthen career opportunities for hospitality students through structured hiring, industry-integrated training, and long-term career development. Through the partnership, students graduating from Emversity’s hospitality programmes will gain access to employment opportunities across Stanza Living’s network of 350+ residences spanning 16+ cities, creating a strong talent pipeline for one of India’s fastest-growing hospitality segments.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to bridging the gap between higher education and industry by enabling students to transition seamlessly from classroom learning to professional careers in hospitality. Students graduating from Emversity’s hospitality programmes will be considered for operational roles across Stanza Living’s nationwide portfolio, including Front Desk Executives, Food & Beverage Service, and Housekeeping, functions that are central to delivering the company’s resident experience across its managed accommodation network.

Designed around real industry requirements, the collaboration goes beyond placements to create long-term career pathways. Students will begin their careers in customer-facing and operational roles, developing the technical, operational, and service excellence skills essential to hospitality. As they gain experience and demonstrate performance, they will have structured opportunities to progress from Executive roles into Area Managers, Cluster Managers, and managerial positions across Stanza Living’s expanding operations.

Emversity will prepare students through its industry-integrated curriculum, practical learning model, and employer-readiness initiatives delivered across its network of 20+ Skill Centres. Students will graduate with both technical capabilities and workplace readiness, enabling them to contribute from day one. Stanza Living will complement this with structured recruitment, onboarding, operational training, and clearly defined career progression pathways.

“The future of managed living in India is built on two pillars: technology and talent. This partnership lets us invest deeply in the second pillar. We’re building a talent infrastructure that evolves in tandem with our tech infrastructure. The next-gen operators joining us through Emversity won’t just execute operations; they’ll help reshape how hospitality is delivered at scale in India.”

— Anindya Dutta, MD & Co-Founder, Stanza Living

“At Emversity, our goal is not simply to prepare students for employment, but to prepare them for lasting careers. This partnership with Stanza Living exemplifies what industry-integrated education should achieve, helping students graduate with practical skills, access to meaningful employment, and a clear pathway for professional growth. By bringing employers closer to the classroom, we are ensuring education remains aligned with the evolving needs of India’s hospitality industry.”

— Vivek Sinha, Founder & CEO, Emversity

The partnership will be rolled out across select Emversity Skill Centres during the upcoming academic cycle, with recruitment commencing for hospitality operations across Stanza Living properties nationwide. As the partnership evolves, both organisations aim to expand hiring volumes, introduce advanced learning and supervisory development opportunities, and create a sustainable talent pipeline that supports the continued growth of India’s organised managed accommodation sector.
