🏠 Baribaba – Where Homes Meet Honesty
Founded on 7th August 2025 by Argha Chakraborty and Soumik Pramanik, Baribaba is a Kolkata-based proptech startup on a mission to simplify how people find rooms, PGs, and rental homes—without brokers, inflated prices, or hidden hassles.
Born from a shared frustration with the chaos of traditional real estate, Argha and Soumik envisioned a platform that puts trust, clarity, and user empowerment at the center of the housing experience. Baribaba is their answer: a tech-enabled, bilingual solution that connects users directly with verified property owners.
