Abdus Samad
Founder & CEO, LinkPG — building India’s most trusted second-home ecosystem for students and working professionals.
Why LinkPG Was Built
LinkPG was born from years of real, on-ground experience in the PG and hostel business. The industry is chaotic — sudden vacancies, delayed payments, staff issues, inspections, and zero accountability.
While most platforms only focus on listings and commissions, the real problems start after move-in. LinkPG was built to bring structure, trust, and technology into an industry that desperately needed it.
Every feature on LinkPG — verification, zero brokerage, rent automation, post move-in support — comes from lived experience, not theory.
