of additional information about the neighbourhood, schools, malls, hospitals, parks and walking

goods has now enhanced its range of services to help people search a lifestyle that comes packaged in a
home. Its ongoing interactions with its customers across their needs in cars,
electronics, jobs and education makes it easier.
“The number of areas where we had a large scale

market.
Verticalization was an obvious logical step to unlock this secret and
have our users further benefit from the true breadth and scale of our
platform. Our real estate business has grown three times in the last two
years and with the dedicated focus on QuikrHomes, we are confident we will at
least double it every year for the next three years”, said Pranay Chulet, Founder & CEO Quikr.

Talking about the potential of the market, Manish Sinha, Head of
Quikr Homes said, “With Indian real estate marketing moving online to capture a $20
billion market coupled with our cross category platform, we are uniquely
positioned to capture the market share for our homes vertical.
Quikr already had the largest number of
individual led listings for real estate category especially in the metros and had a very large number of real estate developers marketing
their projects well before the idea of QuikrHomes was born.”
As the pioneer in the cross-category
classifieds space since the company’s inception in 2008,
Quikr is the only classifieds platform in the country to launch separate
