REA India, the company behind Housing(dot)com and PropTiger, has announced a 31% increase in revenue for the fiscal year ending June 2024, reaching Rs 5.63 billion.

Agarwala noted, "FY24 has been a year of substantial growth and innovation for our company. Our online events achieved record-breaking collections, underscoring our strong market presence and the effectiveness of our strategies."

The company's new products and innovations have been well-received, driving increased sales. Agarwala highlighted the growing importance of Tier-2 cities in India's real estate market, where emerging urban centres are gaining prominence.

"Our app-first strategy has significantly enhanced consumer engagement, personalized services, and overall user experience," Agarwala added. "This digital focus contributed to a 45% increase in app traffic during the latter half of the fiscal year."
