Propsoch, a pioneering startup offering data-driven insights and analysis in the real estate sector, has secured $500,000 in pre-seed funding. The round was led by the family offices of the Godrej Group and the Vakil Group, underscoring a growing interest in India’s proptech landscape.
The company, co-founded by Ashish Acharya and Ravi Agrawal, aims to revolutionise the property market by providing transparency and comprehensive insights, which can empower homebuyers to make informed decisions during one of the most significant investments of their lives. With the fresh capital, Propsoch plans to expand its operations in Mumbai and Pune while also scaling up its presence in Bengaluru. The funds will primarily be directed towards market expansion and enhancing the platform’s technological capabilities to offer more granular data to property seekers. “Our goal is to address the lack of transparency in the market, helping buyers navigate the complexities of real estate with accurate and unbiased information,” said Acharya.
Notable investors backing Propsoch include, former CEO of Godrej Properties, and Bhaskar Bhat, former Managing Director of Titan Company. Pirojsha Godrej, Executive Chairman of Godrej Properties, commented, “Their vision aligns with our commitment to data-driven, transparent solutions that ultimately benefit the consumer.” The proptech industry in India is experiencing significant growth. According to DART Consulting, the Indian proptech sector is expected to grow at a 12% CAGR between 2023 and 2027. In 2023 alone, Indian proptech companies raised over $4 billion, highlighting the increasing investor confidence in technology-driven solutions for real estate. As the demand for efficient, transparent property services continues to rise, Propsoch’s success could play a pivotal role in reshaping the way Indians approach home buying. The startup’s ability to integrate technology with the traditional real estate market addresses a critical gap in the industry, which could ultimately foster greater sustainability and trust in real estate transactions.
