Sudarshan Lodha, CEO, Strata, told the media that their goal is to democratise CRE like an asset class like never before in India. This fresh round of financing comes at a crucial point in their business, enabling them to expedite their expansion plans and build and innovate their product portfolio as they gear up for their next stage of growth.
