Our story
Built with Purpose, Rooted in Wellness
Lively Nest was born from a family's belief that every woman deserves a home that nurtures her — not just a roof over her head.
How it began
A Family Idea That Became a Mission
In 2026, Vijay, Jency, and their son Viyan sat together with a simple but powerful question: what if a PG could do more than just provide a bed and a meal?
As a family deeply committed to wellness — Vijay to mental health and daily meditation, Jency to physical fitness and nutritious eating, and Viyan walking the same path — they saw a gap. Working women in Chennai were settling for accommodation that was functional at best, but rarely nurturing.
Lively Nest was their answer. A space designed not just for comfort and safety, but for helping residents cope with the daily pressures of work and life — through guidance on mental health, physical wellbeing, and over time, truly nourishing food.
Vision & Mission
Serene. Clean. Secure. Healthy.
Our Vision
To offer a serene, clean, secure and healthy living experience for every woman who calls Lively Nest home.
Our Mission
To create a serene, secure and nurturing home away from home where women can live comfortably, work productively and maintain a healthy lifestyle — through thoughtful spaces, consistent cleanliness, abundant greenery, a connected community, strong safety standards and practices inspired by mindful living.
Mental Wellness
Rooted in Vijay's own daily meditation practice, we believe a calm mind is the foundation of a good life. We actively encourage and support residents on their mental wellness journey.
Physical Health
From complimentary gym access to Jency's focus on wholesome food, we build an environment where staying active and eating well is easy and natural.
Safe & Secure
A women-only space with 24/7 CCTV, a warden on premises, and a community that looks out for each other. Safety is never an afterthought here.
Community
We actively build a connected community at Lively Nest — through regular events, shared experiences and a culture of belonging. Residents don't just live here; they become part of a larger family.
Why we built this
Because Working Women Deserve Better
Most PG accommodation treats residents as tenants. We treat them as family. We saw working women navigating demanding careers, far from home, with nowhere to truly decompress. Lively Nest exists to change that — to be the steady, nurturing base from which every resident can go out and take on the world.
We didn't just want to give women a place to sleep. We wanted to give them a place to breathe.
