Speaking on the initiative Srikanth Srinivasan, Head Membership, NASSCOM said “We see this initiative as a step forward towards building a sustainable ecosystem for PropTech start-ups in the country. India’s PropTech sector, although in its nascent stage, has several factors which are destined to make the country the numero-uno PropTech destinations in the world. It is expected that by 2030, India will be the third largest real estate market in the world. The shift in progressive real estate developers, investors and start-ups from placing technology at the periphery to the core is already beginning to happen. The future, however, will entail an amalgamation of human skills along with adoption of advanced technology in the real estate that will serve as an unbeatable combination for the growth of PropTech in the country. We look forward to continue working towards the benefits of PropTech start-ups and hope to witness this space evolve as more and more companies realise the potential of technology to transform their business”
