Back to AboutThe people behind SOCIO
Built by Students, for Students
SOCIO was born out of a real campus problem we experienced first-hand. What started as conversations during university workshops grew into a platform that now serves thousands of students across multiple campuses.
Our team has grown from 3 founders to include 11 talented interns across technical and business domains, all working to transform campus life.

This moment marks a crucial milestone for SOCIO. What began as a student-led idea has now grown into a stronger, wider platform with a larger operational module, a bigger team, and a clearer path for the future of campus experiences.

The Founders

The best products come from understanding real problems firsthand.
