Mumbai: Mumbai-based group buying site GrOffr.com is raising its first round of funding from Indian Angel Network. The fund will be used by the company for expansion, reports DealCurry. Co-Founded by two IIM-Kozhikode alumni Vikhyat Srivastava and Sandeep Reddy in 2010, the portal offers deal in real estate, automobiles, electronics, where they aggregate demand for the product and get discounts, which a singular buyer would have and difficulty in negotiating. The deals are time bound in nature. Earlier this year in March, the company acquired Mumbai-based Mobstreet.in, which was founded by Spandan Tolia. Sandeep Reddy handles the strategy function and deal sourcing for GrOffr. He has a strong financial services background. He has an experience of three years in covering real estate as an analyst at Kotak Institutional Equities.
