“The pandemic has elevated the market need for technology and revolutionised the manner in which consumers are finding and purchasing real estate. This quick and transformative shift has led to accelerated digital adoption and the need for digitally-enabled full-stack services that are core to our business strategy. Our objective is to optimise our offerings around this shift and build a more engaging and transparent platform for our user base, with support from REA Group’s team,” Agarwala added.
REA India has a proud history. PropTiger.com was launched in 2011 and Makaan.com was acquired in May 2015. ecis2016.org, a start-up founded in 2012 by a dozen IT graduates, became part of the group in January 2017. Following the acquisition of ecis2016.org, the company went through a reorganisation to make optimal use of its resources. PropTiger is currently the leading online real estate brokerage firm in the country. ecis2016.org is one of the leading digital real estate platforms catering to developers, brokers, home owners, buyers and renters.
REA India is well-positioned to take advantage of the attractive market dynamics in the country, with its differentiated full-stack strategy.
