EzyHelpers Launches ‘Nest’: India’s First Dedicated Women-Only Hostel for Domestic Workers


Posted February 27, 2026 by EzyHelpers

EzyHelpers launches Nest, a women-only hostel in Bangalore providing safe, affordable accommodation with meals and skill support for domestic helpers, addressing housing challenges and promoting security, stability, and professional growth.

 
Bangalore, Karnataka — February 27, 2026 — In a significant step toward improving the domestic work ecosystem in India, EzyHelpers, a platform connecting verified domestic helpers with households, has introduced "Nest", a dedicated Women-Only Hostel designed specifically for domestic helpers in Bangalore.
This accommodation solution addresses a long-standing gap in the industry by providing safe, affordable, and dignified short-term and long-term stays for women domestic workers in Bangalore.

At a time when thousands of women migrate to metropolitan cities in search of domestic work opportunities, safe housing remains one of the biggest challenges they face. Nest aims to bridge this gap by offering structured accommodation that prioritises safety, stability, and professional growth.


Why Nest and Why Now?
Domestic work remains one of India’s largest informal employment sectors, with millions of women migrating to urban centres each year in search of stable livelihoods. Despite their critical role in households across urban India, these workers have historically lacked access to safe and verified housing options. Exploitative PGs, unreliable landlords, and unsafe living conditions remain a harsh reality for a large portion of this workforce.

Nest was created to address this challenge. By offering a safe women-only space with transparent pricing, three meals a day, and no requirement for large deposits, EzyHelpers is helping remove one of the most significant barriers domestic workers face: finding accommodation that is both affordable and trustworthy.

Strategically located in a well-connected residential area near HSR Layout, Electronic City, and Sarjapur Road, Nest offers more than just accommodation. The facility caters to women domestic helpers across multiple situations, including those newly arrived in Bangalore seeking their first placement, helpers between jobs, individuals requiring emergency shelter after unexpected job loss, and those needing accommodation while employers travel.


Beyond Basic Shelter: A Holistic Living Experience
What sets Nest apart is its comprehensive approach to well-being. Unlike conventional PG accommodations that treat lodging as a simple transaction, Nest is designed around the understanding that domestic workers are professionals who deserve respect, security, and stability.

Key Features include:
Women-Only Security: A fully secured, women-only environment ensuring safety and peace of mind
Nutritious Daily Meals: Three healthy, home-style meals daily, addressing a common concern where helpers often struggle to afford or prepare proper nutrition

Flexible Duration: Daily, weekly, or monthly stays with no long-term lock-ins, accommodating the unpredictable nature of domestic work schedules
Zero Financial Burden: No advance deposits required, with transparent, pay-as-you-stay pricing that respects the financial constraints of domestic workers

Essential Amenities: Fully equipped with washing machines, geysers, and RO water purification facilities, often absent in budget accommodations.


A Win-Win for Employers and Helpers
Nest represents a positive shift in how Indian households support domestic workers. For employers, the hostel reduces concerns about helper safety during family vacations, medical emergencies, or transitional periods. Families can arrange structured stays knowing their domestic staff are in a supervised and secure environment.

"The early response to Nest highlights the growing need for safe accommodation for domestic workers", says Priyanka Rastogi, Founder of EzyHelpers. "When a helper knows she has a safe place to stay, she can focus on her work with confidence. When an employer knows their helper is secure, the employment relationship becomes more sustainable."

Since opening, Nest has already hosted helpers from multiple states, including Odisha, West Bengal, and Jharkhand, with early demand exceeding initial projections.


Solving Real Challenges Faced by Domestic Workers
India’s domestic work sector has traditionally operated in informal environments where many helpers face housing insecurity and safety concerns. Women migrating from states such as Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Assam often arrive in cities like Bangalore with limited local support or reliable accommodation options.

Through Nest, EzyHelpers aims to provide a safer and more structured living solution, contributing to stronger support systems within the domestic services sector.


Accessible, Affordable, and Immediate
Nest operates with flexible booking options suited to the dynamic nature of domestic work. Emergency stays are available for helpers facing sudden job loss or personal crises. Festival and holiday accommodations ensure helpers are not left without safe options when employers travel. Medical leave stays provide recovery space without employment disruption.

Pricing remains accessible, with packages designed around the financial realities of domestic workers. All costs are transparent, with no hidden charges or unexpected fees.


Availability
Nest is currently operational in Bangalore, offering daily, weekly, and monthly stay packages. Emergency stays are available for workers facing sudden job loss or personal crises.
Based on early demand, EzyHelpers is exploring the possibility of expanding the Nest model to additional cities in the future.
