Started in 2018 by Arvind Kadam and Amit Tyagi, Zaasna offers an end-to-end transaction platform for home buyers where they can search for all listed properties, schedule site visits, make payments online, digitally sign documents, and can apply for a home loan on the platform itself.
The startup had recently partnered with Switchme and NestAway, to increase its bouquet of services to home buyers.
Lalit Singh, COO at Udacity and also an investor into Zaasna added,
“India’s real estate industry had been sorely lacking in the transparency and ease of process that Zaasna delivers. Its implementation of technology has reached the pinnacle of real estate research and purchase. Transforming a previously cumbersome process of buying property into a virtually painless one is just what we need.”
