In January-March 2022, a larger financing round is anticipated.Propdial's cofounder and CEO Vinay Prajapati said, "The funds raised from this round will be largely used for people and products as we want to improve our product features while adding more resources in sales and operation functions. We are very much on our target of 5X revenue growth this fiscal and that will set the new base for bigger jumps in coming years, as the market we are addressing is huge and largely untapped".Vinay has ten years of experience in the software industry in the US. In 2009, a primary market brokerage firm was established. He created and sold a software that allows real estate professionals to communicate and share their property needs. He is a real estate specialist and MMMEC Gorakhpur alumnus.Propdial shifted its focus to property management in 2017, allowing property owners in India to manage their properties remotely. It has expanded its activities to eight states and 20 cities in a short period of time.
