The average lifespan of an Indian is 70 years. During this time, how many clothes, cellphones and cars will they buy? Now, compare that with the number of houses they will buy?” BKC-based entrepreneur Abhishek Kiran Gupta asks us, over a telephonic interview. Before we can come up with an answer, Gupta informs us that “home-buying is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”. You can’t leave any stone unturned.
That’s what led him to start the home-buying app IndexTap in August last year. When it launched, the app only provided data that would let you know what price flats in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and Pune were being sold for or being leased out at. In January, the app got licensed to directly approach a seller via its platform. Not just that. Gutpa’s app tells you what price your neighbour’s home exactly sold for, or the recent sale price of a flat in the building you might be looking to buy a flat in.
