Building a business with a team to create jobs for the wider community is an extraordinary thing. A group of students from the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) did just that. In fact, they successfully qualified for the final round of the Indonesian Student Entrepreneurship Expo 2024. Muhammad Abdullah Gymnastiar, a computer science student and chairman, Sigit Setyo Budi, Miftahul Jannah, Afifah Shamvique, and Mohammad Ghifari Catur Mubaraq created an interesting innovation. It is a website and application for finding guesthouses, houses and apartments.

The KMI Expo was held on October 23-25 in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi. Gymnastiar explained that the platform, named KostNih, was launched on April 28. This platform is intended for people who are looking for a place to live and boarding house owners, including students who want to find the right boarding house.

Then, there are various complementary features that are present in this platform. For example, the boarding house search feature, cart details, add products, and the chat feature which is currently under development. Meanwhile, boarding house owners can also hire the influencers they want to review their boarding house, house or apartment. So it can be said that this platform is a multiplatform that can be used by all groups of people. Currently, there are only dozens of boarding houses and hundreds of consumers who have joined KostNih.

“Hopefully, this number can increase in the future. In addition, we also want to develop it into an application because currently it is only in the form of a website. If the application is easier, people can just download it from the Appstore or Playstore,” he said.

He is also grateful that UMM always supports the various potentials of its students, including himself. Various containers are given, support funds are also prepared, so that students can maximize their talents and interests.

“ I hope my team and I can give the best and be able to make the campus proud. Support from the campus is certainly very meaningful for the development of the KostNih application website platform. We also open opportunities for collaboration with other parties to create other innovations,” he ended. (zaf/wil/Ind)
