Grahm to Invest Rs 1 Bn in FY26 for Real Estate Expansion

22 Apr 2025 CW Team

Shah stated that the Rs 800 million-1 billion investment would be directed towards establishing new offices, recruiting local talent, and developing a technology-driven platform aimed at streamlining real estate transactions in the top seven cities.

Currently operational in Bengaluru, the company plans to expand to Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Lucknow. Shah mentioned that although Grahm started in Bengaluru just a month ago, the firm is already working with over 100 developers across 335 projects in the city. He added that while large developers dominate roughly 20 per cent of the market, many high-quality builders typically manage only one or two projects at a time.

Grahm aims to capture 10 per cent of the residential real estate market share across the top seven cities over the next three years, accounting for transactions worth over Rs 500 billion. Shah highlighted that southern cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad are expected to contribute about 35-40 per cent of the total transactions.

Explaining the concept behind Grahm, Shah shared that the idea arose from the understanding that buying a home in India is often a once-in-a-lifetime decision, with many buyers finding the process challenging.

He clarified that Grahm is not just a listing platform. Buyers can sign up on the platform, where Grahm works closely with them to understand preferences such as proximity to schools, hospitals, or workplaces. Based on these inputs, in-depth research is conducted to suggest suitable projects.

Once the properties are shortlisted, buyers can visit them and, if interested, book directly with the developer. Shah further explained that while Grahm has partnered with developers, the transactions are completed directly between the buyer and the builder, with Grahm not being involved in the transaction process itself.
