“The residential resale market is 3 times that of new sale, and holds the key to truly organize the entire Real Estate transactions industry, forever. This ever growing sector remains unorganised and complex to crack because of its multiple moving parts. As a result, Proptechs and organized brokers mainly focus on the low hanging fruits i.e. being a property classified or doing developer sales (channel sales).

Thanks to our team and investors, Settlin is now bridging the gap between lakhs of homebuyers and individual re-sellers through its hyper-local gigified approach which is both standard and personal at the same time. We are re-defining property transactions in all the ways that millions of consumers have dreamt of, many companies before us have promised, but no one could execute”, said, Ashish Srivastava, Co founder & CEO, Settlin.
