Bhubaneswar, Odisha: At a time when travel plans are becoming more dynamic and unpredictable, a Bhubaneswar-based travel-tech startup is stepping forward with a fresh perspective. Huts4u, founded in December 2025, is reshaping the way people book hotel stays by introducing flexible, custom-duration options designed around real-life needs.
Founded by 21-year-old Sritej Pattnaik along with co-founder Ram Naresh Das, aged 24, the platform was created to solve a common yet often ignored challenge faced by travellers, the lack of flexible hotel booking options.
A Simple Idea Born from a Real Problem
Traditional hotel bookings usually follow a fixed check-in and check-out pattern, which does not always suit modern travellers. Whether it is a business professional needing a room between meetings, a couple seeking privacy for a few hours, a family waiting for a late train, or a solo traveller requiring short rest during transit, flexibility has long been missing in the hospitality space.
Huts4u addresses this gap by allowing users to book rooms for 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, or full-day stays. With quick check-in and anytime check-in options, the platform ensures that convenience remains at the centre of every booking.
The founders believe that travel should adapt to people’s schedules, not the other way around.
Designed for Speed, Simplicity and Trust
The digital platform has been developed with a clean and easy-to-use interface. Customers can book a room in just three to four taps, making the experience smooth and hassle-free.
Affordability is another key focus area. The company offers a best price guarantee along with up to 15 percent discount on all bookings made directly through huts4u.com. Transparent pricing and clear policies are aimed at building long-term trust among both customers and hotel partners.
Beyond pricing, the startup emphasises quality assurance and regional trust. With a strong local presence in Odisha, the team ensures reliable support backed by real people who are accessible whenever needed.
Empowering Both Travellers and Hotels
While the platform enhances flexibility for customers, it also creates new revenue opportunities for hotels. By enabling short-duration bookings, properties can unlock untapped inventory and optimise room utilisation during idle hours.
The founders share a broader mission: to enable flexible, affordable and stress-free stays across Odisha while building strong partnerships with local hotels. Their long-term vision is to establish the platform as Odisha’s most trusted hotel booking service and gradually expand across India as the preferred app for custom-duration stays.
Youth-Led Innovation with Regional Roots
What makes this journey particularly inspiring is the age and determination of the founding team. At just 21, Sritej Pattnaik represents a new generation of entrepreneurs who are building solutions rooted in local challenges yet designed for national impact. Alongside him, Ram Naresh Das brings strategic clarity and operational focus to the venture.
Together with their growing team, they are working towards increasing brand awareness through their website and social media presence, while consistently focusing on service quality and customer satisfaction.
A Platform for Everyone
Huts4u positions itself as a friendly and inclusive booking platform catering to couples, working professionals, families, solo travellers and young explorers alike. By combining flexibility, fair pricing and dependable support, the startup aims to build lasting relationships with its users.
As Odisha continues to grow as a business and tourism destination, innovative solutions like Huts4u signal a shift in how hospitality services are delivered — more personal, more flexible and more aligned with real-life needs.
With strong regional roots and ambitious national aspirations, the journey has just begun.
