With the digital mortgage product and co-lending platform for affordable home finance, it is deepening the promise to home buyers and India's housing finance ecosystem.

Various platforms of Homeville address the difficulties faced by millennial home buyers and the real estate market, said Jaxay Shah, Managing Director of Savvy group, Investor JITO Angel Network, and former national president of CREDAI. This company is focused on supporting people to buy their first home, facilitate the flow of credit to affordable housing and share lending infrastructure between the housing finance companies.
