Malaysian End-to-end Rentals Platform Instahome Partners with Indonesian Counterpart Flokq

The Malaysian end-to-end rentals marketplace Instahome has announced that it has entered into a partnership with the Indonesian curated co-living specialist Flokq.

According to a joint statement, the partnership will see the two companies share inventory, tech know-how and advice with the aim of targeting a potential customer base of 14,000 Indonesian workers in Malaysia and 3,700 Malaysian students in Indonesia.

Founded by Patrick Grove and Eric Tan, who is the company’s CEO, Instahome is a rentals platform along the lines of Spotahome in Europe or QuintoAndar in Brazil. The company operates an end-to-end model and works to cut out fake and misleading listings, enhance images of listing and streamline the entire listing to rented process.

Flokq is one of a growing number of co-living startups in Indonesia that offer curated living experiences in furnished apartments in Jakarta. The company was founded in 2019 by Anand Janardhanan and Harmeet Singh and last year bought out YukStay for an undisclosed sum.
