A common pain point and an idea to undo an industry norm brought three IIT alumni together to form a team that disrupted a well-settled sector. Amit Kumar Agarwal, Saurabh Garg, Akhil Gupta challenged the brokerage aspect of real estate when they launched their business back in 2013. While CEO Amit and Saurabh had been batchmates during their MBA days, Akhil met the latter at IIT Bombay. The three nourished an idea, became friends, founded a startup, faced backlash and attacks but eventually succeeded in creating a unicorn. But some years ago, they faced a situation that isn’t typically that entrepreneurs brace for when building a business.
