PropEquity, Cambridge Plan India’s First Real Estate School

30 Jan 2026 CW Team

PE Analytics, the parent company of real estate analytics platform PropEquity, has announced a collaboration with the University of Cambridge to support the creation of a dedicated real estate school in India, marking a significant step towards strengthening professional education in the sector.

Under the agreement, the University of Cambridge’s Department of Land Economy will provide technical guidance and curriculum support for real estate education programmes at the proposed institution. The partnership is expected to expand academic offerings and enhance skill development in India’s real estate industry.

The collaboration is set to lead to the establishment of India’s first real estate school, with PropEquity planning to commence academic operations in Gurugram in 2027. The Cambridge department will assist in designing around four specialised real estate programmes, including courses in real estate and transaction advisory at the postgraduate level.

As part of the initiative, faculty members from the University of Cambridge are expected to teach at the Gurugram campus, while a two-week leadership programme will be conducted in London. PE Analytics is also in discussions with a leading Indian university—among the country’s top 20 Institutes of Eminence—to contribute to the academic framework of the new school.

Beyond education, the partnership includes joint research initiatives and the development of artificial intelligence-driven predictive models for the real estate sector. PE Analytics is currently working on an AI-based conversational platform tailored for India’s real estate industry, with the model expected to be ready for launch by mid-2026.

The collaboration will also involve joint bids for government projects and a focus on advancing research and consulting capabilities in the real estate domain.
