Established in 2020, by Shubhankar Dongre, Sandeep Reddy and Raja Seetharaman, Zapkey has a unique model that renders its customers with guaranteed home sales within three months of the registration date, or they buy the property themselves.

Its pricing is conducted by proprietary algorithms which track more than 30 lakh property registration records, thereby guaranteeing a fair market cost and transparency in sales.

The firm's idea is to become the one-stop online solution that strives to bring liquidity to the difficult resale home market by rendering trust, transparency in pricing, and the best home selling experience to its customers.

The resale home space is more than a $50 billion market. The sheer scale that this market offers is an incredible chance.
