In a bold move that signals a new era in youth hospitality, ArtBuzz, the startup that recently caught national attention on Shark Tank India Season 4, has officially rebranded itself as The Social Stays. This isn’t just a name change—it’s a full-blown evolution.
Why the Rebrand?
According to CEO Shashank Negi, the shift to The Social Stays is rooted in a deep commitment to growth and listening to their community. “We’re not just changing our name,” says Negi. “We’re embracing everything our guests have told us they love—comfort, affordability, and connection—and shaping a brand that truly represents that.”
After their appearance on Shark Tank, the momentum around the company surged. The team used this spotlight not just to expand, but to reflect. The result? A brand that’s more aligned with its mission to be the go-to destination for India’s young travelers, digital nomads, and community-driven explorers.
What’s New at The Social Stays?
The core experience stays the same—only better. Here’s what you can expect:
- 🛏️ Clean, comfy, and stylish stays at affordable pricing: Whether you’re a solo backpacker or a traveling remote worker, you’ll feel right at home.
- 🫂 Community-focused spaces and co-working hubs: From chill common areas to curated events, The Social Stays is built for connection.
- ☕ Cafes: Fuel up, hang out, or meet fellow travelers over coffee and conversation.
- 📍 Prime locations across India: Easy access to culture, nightlife, and all the sights you came to see.
What’s Next?
With a fresh website (www.thesocialstays.com) and revamped social media channels, The Social Stays is all set to welcome a new generation of travelers and creators. As co-founder Anubha Gupta puts it, “Our mission remains clear—we want to provide meaningful, social, and affordable experiences to young explorers across India.”
