"India is now the world's most populated nation with only the 7th largest land mass. We need our builders to create the largest cities the world has ever seen. It's time we empowered good builders with our referrals," Reloy founder and CEO Akhil Saraf said. Our solution streamlines the post-purchase journey that homeowners have with builders and rewards them with benefits across ancillary requirements of home interiors and home finance, Saraf added.

With this funding, the company said it will be able to accelerate its growth plans and establish itself as the default housing operating system that consumers can come to expect with their homes.

The platform that manages over 1.4 lakh apartments is valued at over Rs 1.3 lakh crore. Its clientele includes national partnerships with some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Godrej Properties, DLF, Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate, Embassy Residential, Mahindra Lifespaces, and L&T Realty, among others.
