Buying a home in India was once synonymous with chaos, thanks to opaque pricing, endless paperwork, and a lack of trust. But one company decided that the largest asset class in the country deserved a better operating system.
In this episode of Leaders in Focus, we sit down with Anand Moorthy, Co-founder and CBO, Capital Market & Services of Square Yards. Quietly, he has been a key player in the move to successfully digitize the great Indian dream of owning a home. Anand takes us behind the scenes of building India’s largest integrated real estate platform.
We dive deep into the strategy behind the scale. Anand explains how Square Yards navigated a fragmented market to build a data-driven powerhouse that now rivals global giants. He candidly discusses the “execution-first” DNA required to survive in a sector where technology often clashes with ground realities.
But this conversation is not just about Gross Transaction Value or market share. We explore the mindset of a former investment banker who chose the gritty world of real estate over Wall Street. Anand shares his personal leadership philosophy on managing hyper-growth, the importance of unit economics, and why he believes the Indian real estate story is just getting started.
This is a masterclass for anyone interested in how technology is reshaping traditional industries. It is a look at the future of how we will live, buy, and invest. Watch the full episode, out now.
