The challenge was announced in May 2019 with an aim to expand the footprint of technology in the real estate sector. Designed to identify, mentor and support start-ups, the ‘PROPTECH CHALLENGE’ seeks to transform the Indian real estate sector by developing the best technology solutions for industry. 

Envisioned by CBRE India, entries for DISRUPTECH were divided into four categories: Real Estate FinTech; Sustainability; Agility & Efficiency and Made for India (solutions tailored specifically for the Indian market). DISRUPTECH 2019 witnessed participation from established and emerging start-ups from across India. The highest number of nominations came from South with a whopping 44%, followed by North at 25%. 

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 thatby 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”
