01 — Context

What this thesis means

Proptech investors fund software and services that improve how property is discovered, transacted, financed, built, or managed. India’s real-estate market is fragmented and trust-sensitive, so distribution partnerships and compliance often matter as much as product UX.

These investors scrutinise transaction frequency, take rates, working capital, and whether you are building a durable workflow tool versus a cyclical brokerage. B2B proptech (builders, brokers, facility ops) can underwrite differently from consumer listing marketplaces.

Show who pays, how often, and why your product becomes embedded in a high-stakes workflow.

02 — Fit

  • +Housing marketplace, brokerage-tech, and proptech SaaS founders
