Makaan - The Great Indian Dream Propelled

Buying a home is both an emotional and financial decision for millions of Indians and in most cases, the biggest transaction they make in their lifetime. The huge investment associated with home purchase makes anything to do with selling homes a very responsible job. We at PropTiger.com have consistently played the role of your expert advisor, a one-stop destination for all your home buying needs because we believe in your dream and understand how much it means to you.

Today, our commitment to your dreams has only grown deeper. We as a leading digital real estate marketing and transactions services provider have joined hands with Makaan.com, the pioneering online property listings and classifieds player. The combination will create India's only truly comprehensive online platform, one that will offer end-to-end real estate solutions to home buyers, real estate developers, property brokers, banks and private equity investors. The new entity will offer services that would include being able to shortlist the right set of homes from a wide array of property listings online, and then having a personalized service that helps with site visits, price negotiations, documentation, home financing, registration and post sales services.

This is a significant development, given the fact that the demand for homes in India has been rising exponentially. In the neo-liberal era, we as a nation embraced the dream with tremendous growth in the economy, which spawned the rise of the great middle class awash with the resources to meet the aspirations of human life. Roti, kapda and makaan were at the heart of this. While the first two now seem within reach for a large number of Indians, makaan still remains beyond the reach of millions.

Home ownership, as President Bill Clinton famously said, goes to the heart of what it means to harbor, to nourish, to expand a country's collective dream. We are working towards it. With your best interests at heart, we would offer expert advice you can trust and unwavering promise of assistance throughout the home buying process.

In the Internet age, as businesses rearrange their priorities to deliver products or services that can improve people's lives, we believe that it's a great time for you to buy your dream home. It's no more about marketing our services; we believe in it so much that we want you to experience it too.

Since 2011 when PropTiger.com was founded, we have sold 12,000 homes worth $1.2 billion. These are not just numbers for us; the scale of our business speaks for the trust we have earned and relationships we have built. With our team of over 500 people including engineers, product experts and property advisors across eight major Indian cities, we want to reach out to many more of you.

You may be from different cities with different property needs but we have something for everyone. With our exhaustive range of services, we cater to the needs of a number of home buyers including small families, single executives and individuals looking for bigger homes as their families expand.

Your search for homes only gets many times better with Makaan.com. An iconic brand synonymous with homes, Makaan.com was founded in 2007 and has been one of India's leading real estate marketplaces for property buying, selling and renting, offering a diverse array of services for home owners and buyers, investors, property brokers and real estate developers. It is a platform of choice with over 200,000 active property listings.

As it combines offerings with PropTiger.com, the new entity will offer the biggest database of real estate information and related online real estate services. The transaction will also clear the information asymmetries in the property market and contribute to PropTiger.com's rapid growth and evolution as India's leading digital and mobile real-estate platform.

Last month, we also announced the acquisition of Bangalore-based Out of Box Interaction (OoBI), a pioneering digital interaction design company that specializes in displaying real estate projects in an efficient and immersive way.

While OoBI will significantly engage the property buyers with their virtual reality offerings, the new combination will multiply the extent and depth of services available to every homebuyer so that each one of you can settle with the best homes as per your needs, budget and expectations.

As we grow, your dreams stand a great chance to translate to reality.
